2925 GEORGES LN Alexandria, LA 71301

An award-winning design by Alexandria architect Doug Ashe, this custom statement home set on a tranquil 1.38-acre lot artfully blends contemporary and Acadian elements. Built in 1985, the welcoming open floor plan, bathed in natural light from multiple sources, accommodates easy living whether it be everyday life or grand scale entertaining. Featured in both Southern Living and Louisiana Life magazines in 1987, special features include raised slab, extensive winding brick patios and porches, steeply pitched roof, courtyards on both sides and window features and dormers that go on forever bringing the outside in. This design received the 1986 Honor Award of Excellence from the Louisiana Architect's Association. Spacious formal living and dining areas flank the front entryway which leads to the main living area with its eye-popping 2-story ceilings. A wet bar adjoins the informal living area highlighted by brick fireplace and wall of cabinets and a circular glass-enclosed casual dining area has birdseye view of the patios and extensive fenced backyard. Muted shades of grays and blues accent the kitchen with its numerous pantries and storage options and recently upgraded granite counters, tile backsplash and range/oven. When it's time to retire, the primary suite is a home unto itself with full his and her baths, oversized bedroom area and attached wood-accented office with fireplace, loads of shelves/cabinets and exterior door. A second bedroom downstairs w/ free standing fireplace and adjoining laundry room w/ mini kitchen is a perfect "apartment" for mother-in-laws, live-in help, college students or others. A showcase stairway leads upstairs to 2 more bedrooms & 2 baths. Other inclusions are 4-car garage w/ attic, new roof within past 5 years and separate storage house with portable A/C, central air/heat (5 units electric), 2 electric hot water heaters. A paved circle drive and immense parking options can comfortably host a crowd. Furniture not included w/ sale.
