Remarks & Misc

Remarks

If you've been searching for a truly one-of-a-kind home with a pool in a prime location, 12 Bayside Drive delivers. This New Orleans-style residence sits just off Kaliste Saloom between Pinhook and Rue Louis XIV, minutes from shopping, dining, and the Thruway. Originally expanded in 2002, the home now offers 4,211 square feet and is filled with curated architectural elements and conversation pieces from around the world. Entry from the private, bricked courtyard leads into a spacious foyer opening to multiple living areas, highlighted by St. Louis brick floors, antique wood beams from Canada, and custom finishes throughout. The chef's kitchen features a commercial-grade gas range, custom cypress cabinetry, black walnut chopping block, hand-painted Spanish tiles, and a distinctive bottle window above the sink. Adjacent living spaces showcase wood-burning fireplaces, slate mantels sourced from New Orleans, and views of the courtyard, pool, and pergola. A private elevator clad in antique cypress doors provides access to the second level. Downstairs also includes a study with tile floors and antique shutters, a large great room with an oversized fireplace, wet bar, full bath, and flexible-use space that could serve as a ground-floor bedroom. A standout feature is the wine cellar crafted from a 1,500-gallon French wine barrel, enclosed by brick arches, cypress walls, and a wrought iron gate. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers room for a sitting area, a walk-in closet with rolling ladder, and a spa-style bath with clawfoot tub, bidet, multi-head shower, and stained glass accents. Two additional bedrooms share a bath and feature French doors, balconies, and exterior stair access. The resurfaced gunite pool, pergola, and outdoor half bath complete the private courtyard setting. A home rich in character, craftsmanship, and story--this is one you have to experience in person.
