A new Marvin Vicknair subdivision surrounding a big lake just off La. 16 south of Denham Springs has homes that offer plenty of bang for the buck. The brick and stucco home at 11525 Mary Lee Drive, for example, is a three-bedroom layout with ceramic tile, carpet, custom stained wood cabinets and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures.
Houses don’t always get second chances at life, but the 79-year-old home on the hilltop at 2928 Edward Ave. has found the fountain of youth, thanks to the expertise of its owners -- an interior designer and a landscape architect. With stately old oaks standing guard, the home at 2639 E. Lakeshore Drive has kept its charm and character since the late 1920s, when Baton Rouge money was clamoring to build and live on the high property overlooking City Park Lake. |
