| Located in beautiful old Jefferson, high and dry between River Road and Jefferson Highway stands an elegant traditional Cape Cod home built of cypress and covered with vinyl siding. Historically, this ridge near the river has never flooded as it is 9 1/2 feet above ground level; the highest spot in Jefferson. The interior reveals hard wood floors and a real wood-burning fireplace. The cheery updated kitchen overlooks a breathtaking view of the professionally landscaped backyard with a below ground irrigation system. The triple full length almost maintenance free "Trex" deck with a hidden outside shower crosses via a small bridge over the pond to a screened custom built lighted gazebo with two exits.The pond originates with a waterfall over flat rock to a shallow trickling area, falling into a larger pond which re-circulates underground and around the gazebo back to the waterfall. The gentle sound of the waterfall produces a relaxing ambiance to the deck and gazebo. The ground level of the deck is covered with French Quarter flat ballast stones. The lot is 150 feet deep. Surrounded by plants, flowers and assorted trees, this backyard as well as the front yard is a must see. Sub-surface drainage is included. The backyard also has a vinyl fence and a double garage with carport. The garage roof is old New Orleans slate (not asbestos) as is the house roof top. Downstairs, houses a living room with beautiful mahogany crown molding, a master bedroom, a second bedroom altered with built-in cabinets for office use, large den, kitchen with a faux fireplace and mantle, full bath, and a utility area with washer and dryer. The upstairs floor has two bedrooms, one of beautiful knotty pine and a full bath and hallway. There are many closets and storage units upstairs including walk-in and crawl-in attic space. Fifteen minutes from downtown New Orleans and two minutes to the Mississippi River Bridge, this property will not last long. See the virtual tour photos and call for an appointment today.
