1306 Woodland Trail, Lake Charles, LA 70611

Deceiving is what this one is...not a shophouse or Barndominium as one may suspect, this custom-built home has a large BUILT-IN SHOP and exudes charm and character that far surpasses many of the farmhouses built today. The white painted brick exterior pops as you stroll down the tree-lined buffer driveway and is interior is the perfect marriage of luxury, warmth and functionality. Nestled on a 1.56 acre lot off of the busy beaten Moss Bluff roads is where this picturesque and private oasis awaits, featuring 2627 square feet of living area, with exquisite craftsmanship and a timeless design. It's not simply a home and shop combined - it's a lifestyle - a retreat from the ordinary and a daily dose of comfort and elegance. The single swings flanking the front entry set the tone for the inviting and homey feel once inside and immediately sense that cozy home feel as well as quality craftsmanship. With tons of shiplap and panel-finished walls, a fireplace as one of many focal points, an extra-large kitchen island and the chef's style kitchen appliances that make even the chef's jelly - THAT STOVE THOUGH - this one is truly a MUST SEE TO APPRECIATE. A pot filler adds a splash to the convenience amenities list. Just through the kitchen, the primary bedroom suite could be home to exquisite office space or a beautiful nursery or media room, with its cathedral ceiling and so much natural lighting to accentuate the wide plank flooring and the calming, organic textures and finishes. The built-ins throughout eat up any square inch that could have been considered wasted space but the generously sized closets throughout are sufficient for most household needs. The brick flooring underfoot adds the perfect finishing touches, timelessness and durability that only improves with age. The downstairs could be home to 3 bedrooms if needed as the designated office space is plenty large enough for sleeping space. This home's laundry/mud room space is located just inside from the shop and leads to a half bath, ideal for the littles to wash up from playtime. And then there's the upstairs with its expansive rooms, storage space and full bath. The extra large game room could easily be split to be 2 bedrooms or host to multiple beds for the littles and guests alike. There's no need to walk through the rain, wind, extreme heat or cold to get to the shop. Under the same roof as the home is nearly 2000 square feet of shop space with 3 roll-up doors and much more storage than should be filled. There is no other property like this on the market currently. Priced below its most recently appraised value, it awaits its new homeowner.
