Luxury home a standout in a local gated community

Lakeside on Long Lake is a beautiful, gated community that has attracted many homebuyers with its serenity and short commute to Shreveport.

The new owners of this stunning home by Wimberly Custom Homes are lucky to be among them. Situated on a corner lot covering almost an acre, this 1.5-story Acadiana-style home is instantly welcoming with its lush, deep front yard dotted with mature trees.

Upon entering this 4,298-square-foot house, you are bathed in the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Commanding brick archways dramatically separate the spacious main living areas. The living room hosts one of two brick fireplaces, and the hardwood flooring throughout the space is a warm and inviting Lugano Bioggio French Oak with hand-carved planks, a stunning contrast to the all-white interior.

The home has a light and airy ambiance.

The generously sized kitchen, with a massive center island complete with both a work and seating area, is loaded with custom features, including a Café 48” Professional Dual Fuel Range, under-cabinet LED lighting, custom-built soft-close cabinets, Café stainless steel fingerprint-resistant appliances, and, to beautifully top it all off, Unique Calcutta quartz countertops.

The home features LED lighting throughout.

Moving into the private areas, it is easy to see how this would be a great place to unwind at the end of every day. There are five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The main bath is the lap of luxury with Calcutta Paonazzo glazed porcelain tile, a deep, soaking tub, and dual Rapheal quartz vanities separated by a unique glass pass-through shower. The master bedroom boasts two towering closets, each with its own built-ins. The generously sized bedrooms are filled with light and beautiful hardwood flooring. The home also has LED lighting throughout.

Great consideration and thought have been given to the outside, from the three-car garage to the fully irrigated lawn and flower beds. Entertaining is easy with the screened outdoor kitchen, with a commanding fireplace and a gorgeous backyard view. The outdoor kitchen also features Black Peal leathered granite, a sink, drop-down shades and a 32” gas drop-in grill.
