The home, built in 2004, features 5 bedrooms, 4½ bathrooms, 5,921 square feet of living space, and 0.93 acres of total land. The listing agent was Brett Freret, Realtor with Live Oak Realty Group, LLC. Louise Brady, Realtor with Latter & Blum | Compass, was the sales agent. “The Sanctuary remains a desirable neighborhood, and this home was in immaculate shape with a lot of great amenities, which made it easy to list and show,” said Freret. “The resort-style backyard was very attractive to buyers, and the newly renovated, spacious kitchen with yellow and white Quartz countertops and overhead lighting, combined with Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, and high ceilings, really made the interior pop.” The Sanctuary, known for its larger than usual home sites, consists of a 1,170-acre gated neighborhood and setting, The Sanctuary has tennis courts, a subdivision pool, workout facility, clubhouse, walking trails, and a nature preserve that includes native deer, raccoons, song birds, and other wildlife, and stately pines, magnolias, oaks and nearly 700 acres of cypress marshes and native wetlands that remain undisturbed surrounding the home sites. “The Sanctuary is a beautiful, gated community with a lot of attractive amenities, and the neighborhood is close to a great school district and a lot of things to do in Mandeville. It also has convenient access to the Causeway and Interstate. It remains strong in this market and really offers a lot of living lifestyles for a wide range of people,” said Brady. The lush-landscaped and semi-circle front yard – adjoined by shrubbery, gardens, and a paved driveway – lead to the front of the house. The front exterior showcases four columns that travel all the way up to the height of the home. Upon entry is a beautiful staircase with a wine cellar tucked underneath. To the left of the staircase is the dining room, and the first floor also includes an office and grand-sized living room. The renovated kitchen includes an island with seating, breakfast room with windows, and a butler’s pantry. “The renovated kitchen is very nice and spacious, and the interior overall was in great condition,” said Brady. “It is a traditional Georgian-style home that you could tell has been well maintained and cared for.” The primary suite is spacious with a spa-style bathroom that features a stand-up, walk-in shower, and built-in bathtub overlooking windows. The interior also includes a movie theatre room and a game room. The resort-style backyard has a heated in-ground pool, outdoor seating area, landscaping and trees, putting green, and a patio.
