A front courtyard welcomes guests and brick columns with lighting encase the entire yard. Entering the Foyer, there's a Formal Dining to the right, overlooking the courtyard & mature oaks. The large Den with wood burning stove in the fireplace nook has a bank of windows overlooking the levee. High Clgs. & Wood floors grace this living space. The large gourmet kitchen / breakfast is a warm cinnamon color & brick pavers grace the floors.

A center island, lots of custom cabinets, & corner pantry give great storage options. The laundry, half bath & garage entry are just off the kitchen. The bedrooms are in a triple split plan with wonderful master suite to itself and 2 bedrooms and bath off the Den. The 4th bedroom, which is to the front of the home and overlooking the courtyard, is an easy conversion to a study with its Built Ins, 2 closets, and plumbing for a wet bar. Expansive back porch, large garage, and spacious yard make this a great place to call home. Sellers elect to convey the property in as is condition, with waiver of redhibition.
