Upon entering this 1920s Mediterranean-revival estate situated on an almost half acre secluded lot, you are transported to the bygone era of The Great Gatsby. Cole Porter sits at the piano in the foyer. Zelda Fitzgerald is entertaining guests cocktailing on the front terrace and in the living room. If history and architectural style are your passions, this iconic home is for you. Built in 1925, the home features solid plaster walls, elegant 10-ft. ceilings, and beautifully restored oak wood flooring. Original windows and French doors provide views of the front outdoor living room terrace, the ideal location for afternoon tea in the 1920s. The kitchen is the dream of every chef and large enough to entertain guests while you cook before moving to the formal dining room. If you enjoy fine wines, invite your guests to follow you through the old-world bar and down the candlelit stairs to your private wine cellar. Upon entering the dimly lit space, an impressive collection of wines wait in anticipation of being enjoyed by you and your guests. On lazy warm afternoons, escape to your private backyard retreat complete with an oversized saltwater pool with an umbrella-shaded sun shelf. The outdoor kitchen and three-sided fireplace are perfect for casual evening entertaining. Located directly across the street from the 4-acre Bayou Highlands Park and within a 7-minute drive of downtown and the beaches, this is the ideal location for an incomparable home and an elegant lifestyle.
