308 Princeton Woods Loop, Lafayette, LA 70508 (MLS# 2500000653)

This one-owner custom home, built by Marcus Trautmann in collaboration with renowned designer Kim McLain, combines timeless design with high-end finishes—set on a .63-acre riverfront lot, 24 feet above base flood elevation. With $250,000 invested in the backyard, including a fully bulkheaded riverbank with pilings and rebar, the setting offers lasting structural integrity and privacy along the Vermilion River. Inside, the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Antique heart pine floors—sourced from a historic carriage house near Central Park—run throughout the home. Solid wood doors, Edgar Berebi hardware, and triple crown molding highlight the attention to detail, while top-tier double insulation (installed during the 2009 build) ensures excellent energy efficiency year-round. With 5015 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, the layout balances comfort and sophistication. The gentleman's room features a wood-burning fireplace, custom mahogany bar, onyx countertops and beautiful river views. The keeping room is expansive and inviting, finished with tumbled travertine and tall ceilings, all opening onto a private patio that overlooks the backyard and water beyond. In the kitchen, walnut cabinetry is paired with an onyx backsplash, cast stone vent hood, and antique beams blending elegance with practicality. The spacious yard offers room to entertain or relax, framed by mature landscaping and the calming backdrop of the loggia with river views and antique wood ceilings. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully designed riverfront residence in one of Lafayette's most sought-after areas.
