601 Marie Antoinette St Lafayette, LA 70506

This is Lafayette as it should be - heartfelt, relaxed, and simply beautiful. Starting with lots of open spaces for grand indoor/outdoor entertaining; space for those 'Big Boy & Girl' toys and lots of off-street parking! This home is right in the center of Lafayette, surrounded by many school choices and just a stone's throw from the new Lafayette High. It's a traditional Acadian style home (2047sf 3BR-2.5BT) with an open floorplan, a front porch the width of the house and a foyer that goes the depth of the house. It is centered on a 100' by 150' deep lot & graced by marvelous, mature trees & azaleas. It is deemed new construction because it has had everything that could be replaced, replaced - ALL new plumbing, ALL new electrical, ALL new air conditioning, a new roof; a restructured foundation; reinforced joists; ALL new insulation, sheetrock, paint... Except, we kept the exterior walls because they are wrapped in cedar - the best! We added a large, 2-car, brick garage (24'x23') with a turn-around that allows you to exit the driveway front first. Plus, there are front and rear garage doors. The Master Suite runs from the front to the rear of the home with a large walk-in closet. The bath has a 6'6' granite vanity & two undermount sinks, a 4' tiled shower, a toilet room, open shelving and a beautiful vessel tub under a huge 4'x5' window accented by plantation shutters for privacy, open above for vast natural light. Upstairs are two big bedrooms (14'x15') & (18'x13.5') with lots of closets and a bath with a 7' granite double vanity, a tub/shower, a large linen closet and a toilet room. Great for several occupants at once. The kitchen features a counter-depth stainless refrigerator/freezer, a gas stove that exhausts outside, surrounded by lots of cabinets, a butler pantry & a walk-in pantry. A row of windows looks out into the best room of the house! It's a 10' deep & 27' across, cathedral-ceiling, SCREENED-IN, BACK PORCH. You will love it! Plus no association fees!
