Nestled along coveted, tree-lined Teche Drive near the Oil Center and Ochsner Lafayette General, this rare opportunity offers a traditional home framed by majestic live oaks on a spacious lot with backyard access. Designed with a seamless, intuitive flow, the heart of the home features an updated gourmet kitchen with a cathedral ceiling, expansive island, commercial-grade stove, and refrigerator drawer, which effortlessly connects to an inviting den with a wood-burning brick fireplace and a grand dining room built for large gatherings. Perfect for multigenerational living or accommodating long-term guests, the floor plan boasts two independent primary suites: the massive main suite offers generous his-and-her closets, a tiled shower, a dedicated laundry room, and dual vanities, while the second suite--cleverly transformed from two original rooms--features two closets and its own private en-suite bath, in addition to a 3rd guest bedroom and hall bath. The living space extends outdoors to a oversized covered patio optimized for Louisiana-style entertaining, complete with a full outdoor kitchen and TV cabinet overlooking a fully fenced backyard with double-gate access for recreational vehicles. This well maintained home is rounded out by a two-car garage with dual storage rooms (one climate-controlled with a sink), a new roof, two new interior HVAC systems, and the ultimate peace of mind of being located in Flood Zone X with no history of flooding.
