123 Shannon Road, Lafayette, Louisiana, 70503

Situated on one of Lafayette's most distinguished streets, 123 Shannon Road is a home that leaves a lasting impression. Set on approximately 1.2 acres, this remarkable estate was inspired by the historic D'Evereaux Plantation in Natchez, Mississippi, capturing the grace, symmetry, and timeless character of classic Southern architecture. Built with steel-frame construction, the residence is a testament to enduring craftsmanship. Rare cypress doors, cypress flooring, and richly detailed cypress ceilings create warmth and authenticity throughout its six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath design. A freestanding spiral staircase welcomes guests upon entry, while an extraordinary collection of light fixtures, hand-selected from the French Quarter, lends an unmistakable sense of history and charm. The current owner has thoughtfully restored and elevated the property, honoring its original character while investing in improvements designed to stand the test of time. Recent enhancements include a new concrete slate roof, all-new copper flashing, solid concrete columns, replacement of numerous windows and doors, custom drapery with designer hardware, and maintenance-free fiberglass shutters that preserve the home's classic appearance for generations to come. A newly constructed driveway and circular drive feature a 5½-inch reinforced concrete slab with highway mesh, providing exceptional strength for everyday use and heavy equipment alike. Beyond the home itself, the grounds have been completely reimagined. A new pool and hot tub serve as the centerpiece of an outdoor retreat surrounded by extensive landscaping. What was once an open canvas has been transformed with 88 magnolia trees, palms, crape myrtles, approximately six truckloads of Zoysia sod, professional landscape lighting, and a full irrigation system--creating a setting that will only become more beautiful with time. Homes of this caliber are seldom offered. View this Legacy property today.
