Spanning three floors, the estate boasts an impressive lineup of 11 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, complemented by 5 fireplaces that add warmth and character to the space. The residence is adorned with rich dark woods that encapsulate its interior, narrating stories of royalty and distinguished history. The meticulous craftsmanship is evident in the choice of materials, with floors laid out in Dave County pine, and elements of chestnut, Rifca cherry, and walnut wood embellishing the home. A solid chestnut staircase elegantly connects all three levels, ensuring a seamless flow through the mansion's grandeur.
The first floor serves as the heart of the home, featuring a kitchen, a butler’s kitchen, and a butler's office/pantry for ultimate convenience.

The master suite, a pinnacle of luxury, opens up to a private balcony overlooking the tranquil bayou. The third floor comprises 4 additional bedrooms and 1 bathroom, offering ample space for family and guests.
The estate's exterior is as majestic as its interior, with a wrap-around driveway and a large porch that circles the perimeter, inviting moments of peace and enjoyment of the lush surroundings.
