Experience this gracefully elevated Acadian home just steps to Lake Pontchartrain in the heart of Old Mandeville! Enhanced by numerous thoughtful upgrades, this residence blends timeless Southern coastal architecture with extensive high-quality improvements by the current owner. Spacious covered balconies and screened porches were designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The open concept plan includes a recently enlarged kitchen island, new appliances and the addition of a bar with wine cooler and mini fridge. Beautiful, new European White Oak flooring flows throughout the living areas, creating a cohesive and refreshed aesthetic. The primary bath has been completely transformed with a full renovation featuring Taj Mahal quartzite. Three bedrooms and two baths anchor the home, enhanced by a spacious, beautifully appointed +/-490 sf guest suite (included in ALA) which has been redesigned to include a sitting room, kitchenette, bedroom and full bath, offering flexibility and privacy for family or guests. An expansive walk-up attic presents the opportunity to add one or two bedrooms or a generous bonus room plus bath, with wiring and plumbing already in place. There is ample space under the home for covered parking of 5 vehicles and toys, as well as flexibility for entertaining, and an electric lift offers ease and convenience. A 10x20 storage closet houses all of your implements and tools. Other recent upgrades include all new lighting, new fireplace surround, new primary closet system, a whole house generator, new irrigation system, new drainage and landscaping, new fencing, whole house filtration system and more. Washer, dryer and all mounted TVs remain. Just a short one-block stroll to the Lakefront and the vibrant charm, dining and festivities of Old Mandeville!
