**Sellers willing to contribute $5,000 toward Buyers Closing Costs with acceptable offer**Welcome to your new home in highly sought-after Abita Lakes Estates subdivision. Just 11 minutes to downtown Covington, and less than 8 minutes to downtown Abita Springs, this custom-built 4-year old Acadian-style home offers you the privacy, peace and nature of the country with modern conveniences close-by. Sitting on 2/3rds of an acre, this treed corner lot property is surrounded by a stocked pond for catch & release, and includes fenced-in green space. The 3-yr old gunite pool is complimented by a full Blaze outdoor kitchen (grill, stovetop and fridge) for your entertaining and recreational needs. The old St. Louis brick porch features a hanging gas lantern, custom shutters and four 8-ft windows framing the double-door entrance. A perfect rocking spot to catch a sunset. Once inside, tile wood flooring in the living, dining, kitchen, office and 4th bedroom make this open-floor plan feel even more spacious and modern. Custom floor-to-ceiling hand-made kitchen cabinets include spice drawers & are accentuated by granite countertops, an oversized island, farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances that include a separate ice-maker. The living room features a natural gas and wood-burning fireplace with a home office space (could also be a playroom or flex space) tucked behind sliding barn doors. The primary suite lends itself toward relaxing. The oversized space is connected to a double-vanity primary bath with enclosed glass shower, walk-in closet system, and a self-cleaning Jason hydrotherapy tub. The primary, along with the second and third bedrooms are carpeted. An additional double-sink full bath as well as a half bath are on the lower level with the third full-bath catering to the 700 sqft flex space upstairs. Currently used as a media room, this space would be a perfect retreat for guests or a mother-in-law suite. Storage is made easy with the walk-in attic space that is accessed from second floor. The house is rounded out by a side mudroom entrance with custom cabinetry as well as a separate laundry room located next to the 3-car garage. Custom window shades and treatments throughout. Non-hazardous Flood Zone. Quarterly $200 HOA covers community groundskeeping, clubhouse and pool.
