120 Kimball Drive

Description

Welcome to a slice of Heaven located in the prestigious, serene, and charming Subdivision of Anastasia Acres, listed at the top of Lafayette's most desired neighborhoods. Each Estate is situated on a beautiful large acre tract - a rare gem of peaceful country living, yet minutes from Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, premiere shopping, and a plethora of vibrant restaurants. 120 Kimball is especially alluring as it is situated at the end of the cul-de-sac on the beautiful Vermilion River. As you pull in through the long driveway, pause a moment to take in the view of the stocked pond, as her natural Louisiana beauty boasts mature Live Oaks, Cypress trees, Louisiana Irises & Enigmatic Cypress Knees. Center stage sits a lighted fountain, and two Aerators complete with a fishing dock and Well Pump concealed in a decorative wood closure for easy access. There is no better way to begin your day basking in the quiet calm of the first light from your front porch as the sun peeks through the trees, reflecting on the pond. Entering the home through its grand foyer, vaulted ceiling and natural hardwood flooring is the formal dining room to the right and an impressive staircase leading to the five upstairs bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, an additional large room with wood burning fireplace can be used as an Entertainment room, living room, gym, or movie theatre. The bedroom on the outermost wing has an exterior staircase with a bird's eye view overlooking the pond. Silently witness nesting ducks, birds, squirrels, turtles, and fish in their natural habitat as they build and gather, protecting their young. Springtime is a special treat for all to enjoy as newborn ducks hatch and swim about in their mother's wake, mimicking her diving for food. Be sure to have your sack of cracked corn handy to ensure their return year after year! This staircase is great for late arrival out of town guests or your college student.
