Property Description

A TRUE MASTERPIECE OF DESIGN, ENGINEERING, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. Originally commissioned as the personal residence of a custom home builder, this extraordinary estate was nearly two years in the making, with an uncompromising focus on structural integrity and architectural detail. Commercial-grade cranes were required to position massive iron girders onto deep concrete foundations, creating exceptional structural strength, expansive open-concept living spaces, and dramatic spans free of intrusive supports-a level of construction rarely found today. Inside, the grand two-story foyer makes an unforgettable first impression with a hand-crafted dove's-wing split staircase. Newly refinished hardwood floors, 9-foot solid wood-core doors, and exceptional millwork continue throughout the main level. The elegant living room features a coffered ceiling and access to the front porch overlooking the spacious circular drive and striking center water fountain. The formal dining room showcases a coffered ceiling, columns, and bay window. The dramatic two-story family room is flooded with natural light through a huge wall of windows and features a fireplace and wet bar. The chef's kitchen offers seamlessly refinished custom cabinetry, dual prep and serving islands, breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, matching Bosch commercial-grade appliances, and extraordinary Volga Blue granite countertops imported from Ukraine. The adjoining eating area opens to the concrete deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A main-level bedroom with full bath offers flexibility as a guest suite or office. Laundry rooms are located on both the main and second levels. The luxurious primary retreat features a private balcony, sitting room, oversized walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath. Each secondary bedroom showcases unique architectural character with custom turreted and barrel-vaulted ceilings. One bedroom offers a private ensuite and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath and each feature walk-in closets. A huge bonus room provides exceptional flexibility as a game room or additional family room. The seamless walkout lower level opens directly to the private grounds and resort-like outdoor retreat. The expansive recreation room features imported Italian tile, marble-surround fireplace, custom wraparound wet bar, and full bath. A completely self-contained au pair or multigenerational suite includes a private living room with exterior access, second kitchen, bedroom, and full bath. Outdoor living is exceptional with a 40-foot heated, in-ground saltwater pool featuring a tanning ledge, automated hard safety cover, and fenced enclosure. 112 professionally planted arborvitae, many soaring to 18 feet, create remarkable privacy, complemented by mature cherry, fig, and mulberry trees. A covered patio houses a seven-person Jacuzzi spa. Additional highlights include a Brava composite shake roof installed in 2025 for exceptional longevity and a spacious 3-car garage. Ideally located with convenient access to the train, major interstates, nearby parks, and beautiful Lake Charles. A truly exceptional estate offering extraordinary craftsmanship, privacy, resort-style amenities, and an unmatched level of architectural detail.
