Classic Acadian architecture, timeless design, and nearly 13 acres of beautiful grounds come together to create an exceptional country estate just 12 minute from the restaurants, boutiques, and the waterfront charm of Old Town Bay St. Louis . A long, oak-lined driveway welcomes you home, winding through lush lawn and live oaks that are scattered throughout the property, creating a picturesque setting that feels both private and inviting. This custom-built brick home offers approximately 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with a floor plan that never goes out of style. Wide front and rear porches, a gracious foyer, formal dining room, spacious great room, and an inviting eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, center island, and ample space for a keeping room create comfortable spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors open to a light-filled sunroom overlooking the peaceful acreage, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding views. The split-bedroom design offers exceptional privacy, with each bedroom featuring its own private bath and walk-in closet. The generous primary suite includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and two walk in closets. Upstairs, a large bonus room with tongue-and-groove wood walls and ceiling is ideal as a media room, game room, home office, fitness studio, or additional guest space. The detached workshop includes a utility sink and could easily be transformed into a guest cottage, private office, or studio.
