100 Phillip Ave, Lafayette, LA 70503

MINIMALISM MEETS TRADITIONALISM - 100 Phillip Ave is tucked away in a private neighborhood off of the prestigious W. Bayou Parkway. It sits at one of the highest points in Lafayette. The home has recently undergone a massive renovation and is now ready for its first owner. The only thing original about this home is the shell, and even some of the shell has been redone! Before describing the design choices, the new owner should know that the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, sub-floor, some piers, roof, and beams have all been replaced at or above code. Even the old siding has been replaced with a new modern LP smart siding that has a 50-year warranty. Energy-efficient upgrades include tankless hot water system, LED lighting, low-E windows, and R30 insulation. The design choices were a mix of modern minimalism and traditional Americana influences. This gives the house a clean, bright feel while keeping with the mid-century vibe. The floors are a high end, waterproof vinyl that is nearly indistinguishable from real wood. The kitchen is HUGE and includes top-end, Cafe appliances. All of the cabinets throughout the house have soft close drawers. To keep the floor plan open, a European-style recessed hood vent was installed. The kitchen overlooks an over-sized living room. Connected to the living room is a beautiful sunroom that overlooks the massive back yard. The lot itself is almost unheard of in Lafayette. It's over half an acre, on a corner lot, with only woods behind. The woods behind the house are a special easement with a growing rumor that it will soon connect to the backside of the Horse Farm/Moncus Park! There are beautiful old-growth trees in the front and back yard, with excessive amounts of space for gardens, playgrounds, kids, pets, additional buildings, and/or a pool. Sit in the sunroom with your favorite drink while listening to the wind blowing in the trees and the birds singing in the sun. This is a rare gem in the Lafayette market and it will not last now that the renovation is complete.
