5308 Shoreline Drive, New Iberia, LA 70563 (MLS# 2500006435)

Tucked along the curves of the Bayou Teche, this remarkable 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers space, serenity, and a beautifully preserved sense of character. Built in 1982 and maintained in pristine condition, the home proudly retains its original style, a refreshing nod to timeless design rather than passing trends. At the heart of the home, a double-sided wood-burning fireplace anchors both the formal living room and the more relaxed den, creating warmth and connection between elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. Both the den and formal living are bathed in natural light, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that open views to the front and back yards --but that view of the tranquil bayou beyond is remarkable. The formal dining room open to formal living sets the stage for memorable gatherings, holiday celebrations, and long, laughter-filled evenings. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features a spacious primary suite and an additional bedroom downstairs, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, you'll find three more bedrooms and bath plus a versatile bonus room perfect for a media room, home office, or additional storage. Practical comforts abound with a double garage, whole-house generator, and a roof just five years old, offering peace of mind for years to come. Out back, an enclosed patio overlooks graceful landscaping and invites quiet mornings or evening unwinds. A charming step-down walkway leads to a cement sitting area right at the bayou's edge, where the water drifts by and time seems to slow. This is more than a house; it's a home with soul, space, and a front-row seat to one of New Iberia's most beloved natural settings
