Wonderful home on nearly one acre in a quiet area of Breaux Bridge. The kitchen was recently remodeled and has granite counter tops, a sub zero fridge and all new appliances. There is a breakfast area and a separate formal dining room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The extra large master suite includes a den with fireplace, his and hers walk-in closets, marble floors in master bath and beautiful stained glass windows. The master suite has its own A/C unit (home has 2 A/C units and 2 water heaters). There is no carpet in the house, only beautiful Brazilian wood floors, tiles, marble, and one bedroom has wood laminate floors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What makes this home special is the 20KW generator with auto start that is included in this sale, which can run the whole house for days and comes with a 800 gallon gas tank (almost full!). The generator, the tank and the gas represent a 15K+ investment that will have the new owners rest easy when mother nature is not. Outside, there is a beautiful patio with two ponds and fountain, a green house, a kennel, and a sprinkler system.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Home is all electric and yes, there are lots of colors in the house and seller is willing to give buyer a painting allowance. Owners are also offering a one-year home warranty to the new owners. If you are looking for space and a quiet neighborhood, this may be the one for you!

I will be having an open house tomorrow (February 14th) at 200 Cezanne Drive in Richfield Place from 1 to 3pm. Come view this beautiful, like new home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, only minutes from Burke Elementary.

The kitchen has plenty of cabinets and a walk in pantry while the living room features built-in book shelves on each side of the fireplace and a large computer nook with cabinetry matching that of the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The master suite is located in the back of the house and features separate tub and shower, double sinks and a large walk in closet. Even the laundry has lots of storage space! No doubt that this home has lots of extras to offer along with a wonderful floor plan and a nice size back yard.

This Month in Real Estate reports that 51% of buyers are first time home buyers. The tax credit will soon expire for them and it is estimated that this percentage will go up in the next couple of months. Remember that to take advantage of the tax credit, you must have an accepted contract on a home before April 30th.

 

 

 

I know I’m a little late with this but here’s the recap for Lafayette and Acadiana home sales in 2009. Sales were slightly up in December with 170 homes sold in Lafayette parish and 249 in all of Acadiana.

 

If we look at 2008 and compare it to 2009, we see that the same number of homes were sold in December in both years. In 2009, the total number of homes sold in Lafayette parish was 2270 and in 2008, it was 2287. The difference in terms of homes sold was therefore less than 1%.

 

Here are more statistics of interest:

Average list price

2008:  $175,863         

2009: $179,363

Median Price of sold homes
