About this home
Welcome to Old Metairie living at its finest. Ideally situated within walking distance to Pontiff Playground and dog park, this beautifully appointed 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence seamlessly blends timeless style with modern functionality.
Step inside to a dramatic two-story entryway with soaring 20-foot ceilings, creating an immediate sense of space and sophistication. The first floor features 10-foot ceilings and newly polished scored concrete floors throughout, offering both durability and contemporary appeal. A versatile formal dining room provides the perfect flex space for a home office, playroom, or additional living area.
Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the open-concept kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home. A gas fireplace with a refined mantle anchors the space, while the adjacent informal dining area invites casual gatherings. The chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with granite countertops, double ovens, a warming drawer, and an oversized walk-in pantry, complemented by a walk-through butler’s pantry with built-in ice maker—ideal for hosting.
Upstairs, warm pine flooring leads to a light-filled primary suite featuring an elegant tray ceiling. The spa-like ensuite bath includes a travertine double vanity, a spacious walk-in shower with custom tile and travertine finishes, and a separate jetted tub designed for relaxation. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath provide ample space for family and guests.
Enjoy year-round outdoor living on the inviting back patio, complete with a sunshade for comfortable entertaining, a dedicated gas line for grilling, and additional yard space for play or gardening.
Additional highlights include abundant storage, built-in speakers throughout, Sentricon termite protection, and a newer roof (2021), a security system and video surveillance and a sprinkler system. A transferable American Home Shield warranty offers added peace of mind.
This exceptional home combines location, layout, and lifestyle—an opportunity not to be missed....
