Property Description

One of Riverbend’s largest lots—1.3 acres with two separate 2-car garages—tucked into a private cul-de-sac just 5 minutes from LSU Tiger Stadium and 10 minutes from downtown. Come see this two-story home in the desirable Riverbend Subdivision, offering a wonderful blend of size, space, yard, comfort, and modern amenities—truly something for everyone. Enter the foyer to soaring ceilings, a wood staircase, and an abundance of windows that flood the home with natural light. There is ample room to entertain and for the family to spread out. The spacious living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a painted brick hearth and opens to a sitting area with plantation shutters overlooking the expansive backyard and both open and screened patio spaces. The kitchen features abundant painted cabinetry, 3cm slab granite countertops, a center island, a butler’s pantry, and a large walk-in pantry. Stainless appliances include a gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, and dishwasher. The formal dining room is easily accessed and offers French doors leading to the side porch for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A first-floor home office with custom built-ins makes working from home easy. Rear stairs lead to an upstairs den and game room with plenty of space for a pool table and seating, plus a mini refrigerator —perfect for movies and football gatherings and a full bathroom (could use a 5th BR). The upstairs primary suite features a newly renovated en-suite bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, a custom tile shower with seamless glass, and two walk-in closets. Two additional upstairs bedrooms share a renovated hall bath. Downstairs, a mother-in-law bedroom with a full bath offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is where memories are made, featuring a pergola, a covered outdoor kitchen, a brick fire pit, and a charming brick corridor walkway connecting the two spacious, separate 2-car garage units.
