24 Audubon Oaks Boulevard, Lafayette, LA 70506

Tucked into a cul-de-sac in the heart of the Saint Streets area, this two-story traditional has the kind of solid, custom-built character that newer construction rarely matches. The kitchen sets the mood with granite counters and stainless appliances ready for real cooking and real gatherings.

Hardwood floors run through the master bedroom and upstairs hall, granite tops the bathroom counters, and thoughtful touches like plantation shutters and custom window treatments add a layer of polish throughout. The brick fireplace with built-in shelves anchors the living room, and three sets of French doors open straight to the covered patio, so the space breathes easily between inside and out.

Upstairs, the primary suite includes a generous bath, a walk-in closet, and a bonus room that flexes into a home office, nursery, or hobby space depending on what you need. Each bedroom has its own private bath, and a well-sized office provides flex space upstairs.

Two attic access points keep storage from ever becoming a problem. The practical details hold up too. The whole-home generator can be reengaged to provide emergency power when needed, and the property stayed dry through the August 2016 floods. The house has a two-car garage with an attached workshop, a fenced backyard, and an HOA that covers the groundskeeping round out the package. Close to UL and downtown, with the kind of established character that is hard to find twice. Schedule your showing before this one is gone.
