This Beautiful French Design is located in the popular Brusly School District. Built by a local builder just 4 years ago, the home is like new and is the design of Andy McDonald, one of Louisiana’s Premiere Home Designers. Conveniently located just 10 minutes to Downtown Baton Rouge, the home’s proximity to LA 1 South, running the length of the Brusly / Addis corridor, makes for easy access to Interstate 10 East or West and industry to the South. Community amenities and shopping include restaurants, boutiques, specialty shops, medical offices, vets, meat markets, Wal-Mart, and a new YMCA. And with Baton Rouge so near, all the big city has to offer is easy to obtain as well, however, life on the Westside offers a more Relaxed / Small Town attitude. The home is in desirable Brusly Oaks subdivision, where the entire subdivision’s perimeter is fenced for privacy, but it is not a gated community so the local municipality can maintain the roads. A community park and ball field is adjacent to the subdivision, giving kids a great place to ride bikes and play. This home truly is a Beautiful Design and there were no details left out! This attention to detail begins on the outside with the home’s great curb appeal, and continues throughout the inside. The use of Old / Used Bricks, Multi-level Roofing, True Stucco, Hinged / Working Shutters, and Solid Spanish Cedar exterior Doors all reflect a true French style. With 2,154 Living Area and 4 Bedrooms / 2.5 Baths, this is not a place that will be quickly outgrown! Entering through the Front Portico via French Doors, a person steps into the Foyer, with the sprawling living area just beyond. Warm Colors, Exquisite Crown & Detail Moldings, High Ceilings, Bronze Fixtures & Hardware, and Authentic handmade “Saltillo” Tile Flooring grace the entire living space in the Dining, Living Room, Breakfast, Kitchen, and down the halls. The unique use of Handmade Tiles throughout the home; in Flooring, Fireplace Surround, Countertops and Backsplashes give a truly Unique Design Touch! The Open, yet semi-walled Living Area layout is perfect for entertaining family and friends. There is no shortage of Natural Light here due to the Expansive Windows in the Dining, Living and Breakfast Room. Presently the homeowners have the Formal Dining Room furnished as a Sitting Area for quiet reading or conversation a bit away from the Living Room, but a Fabulous Bejeweled Chandelier and Arched Wooden Window make it a perfect room for either use. Taking Center Stage in the Living Room is the Wood-Burning Fireplace with Handmade Tile Surround, the same tiles used in the adjacent kitchen. A Sunny and Very Spacious Breakfast Room next to the kitchen is a great place to start the day! Entry to the Large Backyard and Covered Back Porch are through another Spanish Cedar door in the breakfast area. Separating breakfast from kitchen, a Raised Bar / Countertop is perfect for added space for serving or extra seating at mealtime. The joining of lovely design with functionality makes the Kitchen a place that any cook would love! Custom Cabinetry with Turned Rope Accents, a Glassed Door section, and lovely Bronze Hardware house lots of storage options. And, a Walk-In Corner Pantry offers even more storage. As expected, all the appliances are Built In and of exceptional quality, making meal time and clean up a breeze. Hand Painted Tiles cover the Countertops, with the use of Relief Tiles and a Mosaic accenting the Backsplash (See the Kitchen Detail Photos). Just across from the kitchen there is a Half Bath / Powder Room with Pedestal Sink, convenient to the living area and for company. Down the hall from the kitchen are the Laundry Room and the doorway to the Garage. This door to the garage, as with all exterior doors, is of Solid Spanish Cedar. In a “Split Bedroom Plan” that offers privacy to everyone in the house, the Master Suite is located on one side of the home, while the other 3 Bedrooms and a Hall / Hollywood Bath are located on the other side. Entering the Master Suite, one is instantly aware that the builder did not “drop” the details and design found in the main areas of the home, as High Ceilings, Crown Moldings, and Bronze Hardware and Fixtures continue here. Wood Floors accent the Master Bedroom and Porcelain Ceramic Tiles cover the Bath floors. A Garden Tub Alcove in the Master Bath makes for a great place to unwind at the end of the day, with its lovely Leaded / Opaque Glass Window. There is also a Separate Shower, Walk-In Closet, Toilet Closet, and Double Vanities for easy sharing of space. The Vanities are Very Pretty with Special Framed Mirrors having lights built in to these mirrors, Bronze Fixtures, and a Backsplash of Slate Tiles (See the Master Bath Detail Photos). On the opposite side of the house from the master suite is a Wing where the other 3 Bedrooms and a Hollywood Bath are located. This Hollywood Bath is accessible from the Hallway and the front Bedroom via 2 Separate Vanity Areas, with a shared Bath and Toilet area in between. The Bedrooms are all Nice Sized, have Walk-In or Large Closets, and flooring of Oak Laminate. The present homeowners are currently using one of the extra bedrooms as a Home Office / Computer Room. The Double Garage is rather cheerful with a front window, has space for Two Cars to park, as well as room for outdoor tools and equipment to be stored. The Back Porch / Patio makes for a Great Place for Outdoor Entertaining with its Exposed-Rafter Roofing, Arbors planted with Confederate Jasmine and Natural Gas Jet for barbequing. $274,900.  This is a Must See if in your price range and Won’t Last Long!
