Overflowing with luxury, the Chateau Lafayette boasts an impressive 5000 square feet, yet manages to still feel cozy and livable in its interior. With an eye-catching Old-World exterior, this home is the envy of any streetscape.
The brick exterior instantly produces curb appeal with its multiple gable peaks, arched windows and double doors throughout the front façade. Equally splendid is the rear exterior. With a covered patio on the lower level, screened porch and deck, the rear of the home is overflowing with entertaining spaces.
Once inside the home, a two-story foyer creates a lofty, grand entrance. Columns mark the entrance into both the library and dining room, and invoke a feeling of openness from the minute you walk through the front door. Echoing the open feel of the foyer, the oversized kitchen is the heart of the home. Intentionally designed to be the hub, the kitchen features four separate living spaces that radiate from it. The breakfast room, covered porch, home office and keeping room all form one continuous living area yet retain a cozy identity.
The coffered ceiling in the keeping room, along with the fireplace and adjacent porch, present instant design detail and grant luxury to less formal rooms. A ceiling treatment also enhances the great room, which features rear terrace access and a fireplace. Completing the first floor is a guest suite with its own bathroom.
The upper level consists of secondary bedrooms and a massive master suite. The entrance to the suite invokes a comforting, quiet space. The master bedroom is spacious in size and features its own private balcony, while the adjacent sitting area creates a private place for downtime and relaxing. For ultimate luxury, the master bath stops at nothing. With a tray ceiling overhead, the master bath includes a separate shower and tub, private privy and dual vanities for convenience.
