Old New Orleans Elegance Meets Modern Day Luxury...Step into timeless character and charm with this meticulous New Orleans-inspired residence, nestled on a sprawling acre+ lot in the desirable Woodland Forest Estates Subdivision in Moss Bluff.  This inviting front elevation features a wrought iron finished balcony, front gate and fencing, custom BEVELO Copper Gas Lanterns, a beautiful courtyard complete with a fountain and paved with lush landscaping. Upon entry, one can truly feel the quality of craftsmanship and the attention to detail in this well planned layout.  The handscraped hickory flooring, travertine and porcelain tile flooring throughout this beauty is easily maintained both downstairs and up with the central vac system and the custom cabinetry at every turn leaves no wasted space permitting a ton of storage.  The chef's kitchen features a large walk-in pantry with ample shelving, an appliance garage, 2 ovens, a trash compactor and is finished with reclaimed cypress and hard maple cabinetry, and St. Louis brick.  The wine center near the stairway and just outside of the kitchen and "drop" areas makes this property an awesome residence for those who love to entertain and hosts large gatherings.  Both the living room and study are complete with gas fireplaces.  The exquisite mahogany mantel, cabinetry and shelving in the study are a rare find today and exude elegance.  The extra-large, private Master en Suite sits just down the hall from the study and is hosts to 2 generously sized closets, a make-up vanity and a self-drying air-jetted tub.  The laundry chute from the upstairs to the laundry room is ideal for the littles and the shelving/bookcases add a nice addition near the top of the stairway landing while the surround sound is just another one of many nice touches.  2 full baths occupy the upstairs of this home.  The Enphase solar panel system assists in making this property energy efficient along with the high efficiency HVAC units.  8’ interior doors and stacked crown molding hang throughout. The interior of this pristine package has so much to offer that the amenities are too extensive to list here.  As if the home doesn’t offer enough, the exterior is dressed with lush landscaping, a Hunter irrigation system for both the lawn and bedding, custom, operable louvered storm shutters and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen equipped with Fire Magic gas appliances and plumbing.  The 2nd garage features a workshop, 2 additional garage parking spots and a 43’ RV stall with a 50 amp breaker.  This one is a true must see to appreciate and cannot be rebuilt today for the offering price.  Call today to schedule your showing and to have a full amenities list sent your way.
