Watch the sun sink into the bay from this custom-designed, majestic waterfront estate on a sprawling 1.1 acres with dockage, spacious pool and plenty of room for indoor and outdoor entertaining. From the long circular drive to the charming central courtyard ringed with balconies, this 7,401 sf home embraces your family and friends with the warm and welcoming spirit of New Orleans. While space abounds, the 7 bed/5 full bath/2 half bath compound is comfortably divided into a two-wing main home, separate carriage house with an efficiency apartment, expansive pool deck with brick fire pit, and a fun summer kitchen/man cave with the cozy atmosphere of a local bar and grill. The main home wows your guests with a dramatic front entrance, antique doors, copper gutters and stunning old Chicago brick accents while old-fashioned Southern charm invites them to stay with brick interior archways, outdoor alcoves for reading or relaxing, plus private covered balconies and porches tucked in throughout the design. The main house gourmet kitchen is outfitted with a new Subzero refrigerator, two Bosch dishwashers, Jenn-Aire cooktop, wine coolers, warming drawer and an oversized L-shaped granite island. The adjoining dining room includes the convenience of a built-in custom buffet with warming drawer. The primary bedroom is on the ground floor with open bay views, soaring ceiling, separate sitting area and a stunning primary bath with a surprise private garden. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and full baths, and a recently updated media room/gym/bonus room.
The separate two story guest wing adds 3 more bedrooms, 2 full baths and a separate full kitchen. The estate also offers the advantage of two laundry areas.
Outside is a substantial backyard and a huge 20 x 40 pool trimmed in Tennessee bluestone. The bayfront dock includes two boat lifts, a boat house, jet ski lift, kayak platform and flow-through decking for longevity. The main house and guest annex also have a new metal roof. Driftwood Estates is located down Mack Bayou near Sacred Heart Hospital, A+ rated public schools, Grand Boulevard for dining and shopping, and is just minutes from 30A beaches.
