Return to the genteel life on the banks of the LSU Lakes. So private on the horsehoe lake, you will enjoy the view of the sun setting over the lakes from your swing on the antebellum style balcony among the treetops. Built in the 1930s, this home has character and charm that has withstood the test of time. The formal areas offer views of the lake from large transomed windows. Entering through the massive double doors of intricate leaded glass, the traditional staircase welcomes you. From the living room choose to enter either the media room or the music room. The music room has three walls of windows, marble fireplace, and ample room for a grand piano plus seating - would be a great place to start your day with views of the lake. The media room has blackout shades and a full projector for movie night. Commercial appliances in the kitchen offer everything the cook desires - Vulcan range with commercial hood, tucked beneath a brick arch, stainless double refrigerator, stainless freezer, all with a large tiled bar area to keep the cook company. A wonderful casual den with full entertaining bar overlooks the landscaped rear lawn and porches. You won't often see an outdoor kitchen equipped like this - industrial icemaker, smoker/barbecue, fryer and more. The master suite includes a large master bath with raised Jacuzzi, separate shower, marble appointments, two window seats, and custom vanity. Off the master bath is a surprise - a gentleman's library. Four walls of beautifully crafted bookcases and roaring fireplace return you to days of old. Through double french doors you may enter the upstairs balcony, curl up with a book and watch the energetic joggers pass by. This is a classic landmark deserving of a Lakeshore address. Driveway is from Elissalde. Added bonus: the adjacent lot is being offered for sale separately and is available to expand your estate.
