A coveted Saint Streets and Oaklawn subdivision home boasts room for everyone. Large corner lot with beautiful oaks, mature landscaping and circle drive. The foyer will great your guests into a traditional formal living and dining room with fireplace and marble surround as a focal point (even a half bath here for formal entertaining). The kitchen is the heart of the home, and this one offers a huge central island, plenty of storage, gas burning cook top and double ovens AND double warming drawers. The triple sink has a view of the oaks and there is a large walk-in pantry. Breakfast area with exposed wood beams flows seamlessly into a cozy sitting room around a huge stone fireplace. As everyone gathers and entertainment continues, the large living area has brick floors, wet bar, built in bookcases and a bank of windows letting the light in. Two spacious guest bedrooms with large closets share a jack-n-jill bath with original mid century tile charm. Third and fourth guest bedrooms are currently used as an exercise room and office, both with ample closet space and share another hall bath with classic tile, dual vanities, even a third sink (original owner brought his dental profession tendencies home!). The primary suite is truly spacious and can accommodate even the largest furniture. The water closet has its own exterior door, providing access to the courtyard pool. And what a courtyard! Completely decked with cool-crete surrounding the chlorine pool, a covered pergola and separate wood deck. Plenty of room for sun and fun! Circle drive leads to the two-car carport and entrance with a truly spacious laundry room which doubles as an office, plus another half bath, and additional "Costco" closet. There is simply no shortage of storage in this home! New roof in 2024 and Flood Zone X. A few blocks from Colonial Park and biking distance to downtown and all things Lafayette!
