176 Imperial Saint Landry Ave, Opelousas, LA 70570

This gated community has a new addition! It is a 3BR-2BT and has 1474sf; but it is so well designed you may think you are in a 1600sf home - saving you thousands of dollars on wasted space. Just step inside and you will see, the welcoming 8ft hand-made mahogany front door takes you into the bright foyer with lovely greyish-white rectangle tiles that opens into a grand (16.5'x21') Living Room, perfect for a large family and ideal for entertaining where broad windows abound overlooking a covered patio. This home has a split floor plan hosting a Kitchen with an expansive slab-granite raised-bar wrap-around counter for lots of extra seating and the clean look of an undermount double-bowl kitchen sink. Behind that are richly stained, custom, raised-panel, cypress cabinets that are fitted with large convenient pot drawers. There is a HUGE pantry and laundry room right off the kitchen. The home has plenty of storage with an added coat closet off the living room and three additional closets for linens or for whatever you may need just a bit more storage. It's equipped with energy efficient natural gas heat, hot water and just what every Louisiana cook loves, a gas stove! (...and the stove vents to the outside too!!) Additionally, to further save on heating and cooling bills, there are Low E double-paned insulated tilt-in windows, a programmable digital thermostat and radiant-barrier roof decking. But it is the finishing touches that give this home that just perfect feeling. Soft grey walls and rich dark wood flooring accented by creamy white crown molding and lots of natural light make this home bright and elegant. The Master Suite is impressive! It has a large walk-in closet and a Master Bath that has a generous garden tub/shower, plus double-vanities. This home was built with resale value in mind. Starting with a better than grade slab to an insulated 25yr roof, this home has every amenity: It's a solid brick home (Yes - brick is the Southern home's best insulator - no vinyl walls here - and brick offers both strength & easy maintenance.) with a 2-car garage (21.5' x 22') - big enough to fit your truck and more. You have all of this and it's located in a beautiful gated community with walking paths around a peaceful lake that's draped in willow trees and stocked with fish, just seconds from I-49 and NONE of this development is in negatively rated flood zone (It's all Zone X.) 100% financing to qualified buyers! While we still have a few finishing touches, like landscaping and touch-up paint, we'll be ready when you are. Just call the Agent to see it all for yourself. It is simply beautiful!
