What do you get when you cross a Southern historical home with a Louisiana country estate? This circa 1985 Colonial Farmhouse with garden pool and an expansive shop on 3/4 of an acre in Alexandria, of course! Twin live oaks welcome you onto a brick pathway that leads to the front porch and then meanders in between the house and the detached double garage with storage into the stunning entertainer's dream of a back patio with kidney-shaped pool and access to the 30' x 40' shop. This quintessentially Southern homeplace features a 2nd story balcony, reclaimed wood floors from New Orleans, arched transoms, custom trim details, a sunroom/dining room with wet bar, and beaucoup charm. With one bedroom and 1.5 baths downstairs and 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs, there is room for the whole family and guests. Two upstairs bedrooms have access to the balcony with its double swings. The light-filled living spaces are intimate and encourage deep conversation. Surprising nooks, closets, and built-in storage are both practical and delightful. The custom shop is designed to be cohesive with the house and garage and features 3 bays, extra strong shelving, 3 rollup doors, and much more. You will be delighted and amazed at what this property has to offer. Schedule your visit today.
