56 PRESERVE Lane, Mandeville, LA 70471 (MLS# NO2493126)

This impressive custom estate sits on a 1.69 acre homesite in Mandeville's premier luxury community, The Sanctuary, and incorporates dramatic Mediterranean-inspired design elements to create bold and unique front and rear facades. The over-sized arched entryway, the impressive spiral staircase of the great room and its 26' soaring ceiling anchors the first floor, which is flanked by the master suite, and the dining, kitchen and breakfast rooms. The enormous kitchen boasts a center prep island with an additional wrap-around counter with seating, a large breakfast room, and a butler pantry that connects to the formal dining room featuring its own balcony overlooking the front of the property. The first floor is also home to a guest suite and a home theater room that can also function as a very spacious home office suite. The master suite bedroom overlooks the backyard and pool and is large enough to accommodate a full compliment of furniture. There is an exercise room, 380 sf closet, and the bathroom has two vanities, a make-up station, jetted tub, and a 20' walk-through shower. The second floor features a sitting room that overlooks the great room and pool, and three ensuite bedrooms. The most impressive part of this estate may just be the backyard and pool. The high ceilings of the portico provide a stunning venue from which to enjoy the saltwater pool, fountains, hot tub, cabana and views of the protected preserve beyond the manicured yard. The left side of the house features a porte-cochere, plenty of storage and off-street parking. The Sanctuary is an environmentally planned community only minutes from The Causeway Bridge and home to miles of nature trails, a Health & Activity Center, fitness center, tournament-size swimming pool, three tennis courts, a ball field and an active homeowner's association.
