Description
ICONIC PROPERTY in GIRARD WOODS! This magical home will encompass your whole being with its quiet and serene appeal welcoming each visitor with open warmth pulling you into its unique fairy tale features. You may never want to leave. The almost two acre property sitting right in the middle of Lafayette's Oil Center is an anomaly. Once onsite , the feel of the 1.9 acre lot projects a country feel yet is central to everything Lafayette has to offer. Often, I am struck with the clarity of peacefulness upon entering this home. Its grand , solid front door opens into a private entry and pulls one into the most charming living space with optics drawing the visitor's attention straight out to its expansive back yard. Plate glass windows across the rear living areas of this home allows for its exterior landscape to join its interior personality!The main living area is open and significant... each designated gathering space suggesting a comfortable atmosphere for visiting, reading, watching a movie or game or simply enjoying some peace and quiet. The ground level living area with its wood burning fireplace has soaring ceilings with an enveloping atmosphere. Included in this scene and overlooking the main living space is a cozy corner flanking the view of the back yard. Just breathe when opportunity finds you gazing into green grassy space and the blue waters of its swimming pool. This verbal tour continues to the right as the expansive dining area makes a statement. Beamed ceiling and a private library show the diversity within this room. Once again more plate glass windows silently control the conversation as the view dominates. A fun and flirty bar is a permanent character residing between the kitchen and dining room with a glass and wood pocket door separating. As our gaze travels into the large and unique kitchen with its red cabinets, viking range with two ovens, a sub zero refrigerator/freezer, ice maker and Bosch dishwasher... again the beautiful over sized window showcases the mature crepe myrtles in the deep front yard. Counter space is at a premium and the butlers pantry provides auxiliary storage. A huge laundry room also has plenty of cabinets, a sink and extra area for another fridge or freezer. Access to a patio is immediately upon this part of the home along with a bedroom and its en suite bathroom. Perfect for guests or an exercise room or hobby room there is a new Murphy bed which allows dual purpose for this private space. Three other bedrooms and two bathrooms are right off the cozy sitting room and finally the Master bedroom which is on the backside of this lovely home offers exceptional privacy! The spacious room with its gas fireplace and patio access provides for an additional couch and chair within the bedroom and opens into a sun room with floor to ceiling windows, closet, bath and sauna. Collectively, this happy home gives any buyer the space to grow and live in the solitude of 1.9 acres centrally located in our great city. A three year old roof, renovated guestroom bath, new plumbing and freshly painted exterior bricks, trim and front entry present a solid new beginning to any buyer. The location is stellar with parks so close, restaurants, shopping and schools minutes away and even more abounding amenities. Pop in and experience this one of a kind home!
