eminiscent of the stately homes along St. Charles Avenue, this new Italianate residence was designed for comfortable family living and gracious home entertaining. A classic stone balustrade supported by Ionic columns elegantly forms the front entry Portico. In the Great Room, tall windows beside the fireplace create an intriguing view of a cypress cove at the end of a waterway. A window bay in the handsomely appointed Dining Room is a prominent feature of the facade. High ceilings and large cased openings with engaged columns enhance the spaciously flowing interior. A transverse corridor between the Kitchen and Dining Room serves as a butler's pantry and wet bar. The elongated Kitchen includes a Breakfast area overlooking the rear yard. A stair hall in the side wing links these spaces to covered parking and bedrooms on the second floor. The screen porch, adjoining the Kitchen and Great Room, provides a panoramic view of the natural setting.
