108 Valerie Dr, Lafayette, LA 70508

Looking for the perks of River Ranch living without an HOA--and with acreage? Love to entertain? Indoor and outdoor--check! Natural light? Check. Tons of storage? Check. A true primary retreat? Check! Rear yard access? Check! Welcome to 108 Valerie Drive, a custom-built McLain home on a cul-de-sac overlooking the Vermilion River. Drive up to a long driveway with extra parking and an arched front door entry. Inside, be amazed by abundant natural light and stunning views. The grand two-story foyer features 20 ceilings, a wrought iron staircase, and hidden storage. The formal dining room shines with an intricate chandelier, butler/wet bar, and antique doors. The open-concept kitchen/living/dining space is the heart of the home, perfect for gatherings. The kitchen boasts a commercial Vulcan gas range, Subzero fridge, ice maker, and floor-to-ceiling storage. A double-sided fireplace connects the living area to the sunroom, one of two flex spaces. Downstairs, two primary bedrooms await. The original suite is off the kitchen, while the newer primary retreat features exposed beams, a chandelier, and a private flex space overlooking the river. Antique doors lead to a spa-like ensuite with dual sinks, a soaker tub, an oversized shower, a private water closet, and courtyard access. A custom-designed closet maximizes storage. Also downstairs: a half bath, walk-in pantry, and laundry room. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer oversized closets and private sink areas with a shared bath. A flex space for an office or study nook and a balcony with breathtaking views complete the level. The outdoor space is the showstopper! A covered outdoor kitchen features an RCS gas grill, green egg, mini fridge, and wine cooler. Upper and lower decks offer stunning river views, perfect for hosting Yoga on the Vermilion. Additional under-roof storage keeps outdoor toys and hobbies organized. This home has never flooded, and flood insurance isnt required. A must-see!
