About this home
Originally built in the late 1920s by Bill Riley, this stately English Tudor-style home sits on four landscaped lots and was featured in Bayou Life Magazine in 2023. The property blends preserved architectural character — arched stained-glass entry, copper gutters, Bevolo lighting, oak floors, Saltillo tile, and steel windows — with extensive modern upgrades. Recent renovations by current owners include retractable glass doors (2022), den back door replacement (2023), kitchen repaint + new Wolf range + new fridge (2023-24), master bath updates (2024), AC split on 3rd floor (2022), Generac whole-house generator (2022), new fireplace insert (2022), pool house renovation (2024-25), alarm system (2024), and deep freeze (2022), plus multiple touch-up repairs and maintenance. Interior features include a Danby marble foyer, designer Sherle Wagner powder room with Ann Sacks tile, an updated formal living room opening to the patio, a den with pecan built-ins, coffered ceilings, WBFP, and wet bar, and a formal dining room and breakfast room connecting to the chef’s kitchen with Calcutta Gold quartzite countertops, soft-close drawers, pot filler, and workstation sink. The primary suite offers a custom closet and spa bath with Carrara marble shower and freestanding tub. Upstairs includes 3 bedrooms, 2 ensuite baths, media room, and flex space, plus a 451-hsf gym with vaulted ceilings and infrared sauna. Resort-style grounds feature a covered outdoor kitchen and fireplace, black gunite pool with cabana, private hot tub, outdoor half bath, and lush garden surroundings.
