This Louisiana Style luxury home nestled on two lots on the enviably shady western shoreline of Hideaway’s Middle Lake boasts an attractive juxtaposition of Old World charm, lakefront ambiance, and panoramic water views. A spacious circular driveway and impressive courtyard gate open to a picturesque outdoor space that immediately initiates a marvelous motif throughout the property. The outside is very much a living space of the home. The quaint illumination of French Quarter gas lanterns and covered porch prepares one to step inside an atmospheric array of brick archways that frame an oversized wood burning fireplace and 6 inch handcrafted wood floors. A dramatic interior impression. A wall of windows allow the scenic lakefront view to spill inside. Another brick archway warmly welcomes one into the kitchen where the combination of wood and brick and another fireplace inspires coziness and charm. A huge island with a cooktop, and generous cabinet space opens to a large dining space with a view the lake. A walk in pantry, utility area and half bath are conveniently adjacent. The Primary Bedroom Suite has a wall of built-in bookshelves and an intimate hallway to a Primary Bath complete with a built-in dresser & walk in closet. The airy passageway between the owner suite accentuates the discovery of a covered and screened private balcony. This remarkable space has a soaring wood vaulted ceiling comparable only to the magnificent lake scene. Upstairs features a cozy sitting area, and a gallery of built in shelves with a hidden office. A second ensuite bedroom and large third bedroom each open to a private balcony and adjacent is an extra full bath. A highlight of the upstairs is a screened sleeping porch with shutters that open up to a panoramic view of the lake. The detached guest dwelling mimics the style of the main home with a full bath and screened porch perched on the waterfront. The boat house has a lift and an oversized dock. Too many features to mention!
