Exceptional custom-built home just steps from the Mandeville Lakefront in the heart of Old Mandeville! Designed and built by a commercial contractor with over 50 years of construction experience, this one-of-a-kind residence was constructed to commercial-grade standards with quality and longevity in mind. The home is anchored by 55 deep pilings tied into reinforced grade beams, creating an incredibly solid foundation. Exterior walls feature 6-inch construction with R-19 insulation, while sound-insulated interior walls, premium double-pane windows, and three Mitsubishi split HVAC systems provide exceptional comfort, energy efficiency, and remarkably quiet living. A standing seam commercial-grade metal roof with warranty, tankless gas water heater with recirculating loop, and low utility costs further showcase the home's thoughtful design. Inside you'll find beautiful reclaimed materials and custom craftsmanship throughout, including cypress beams and porch timbers reclaimed from the bottoms of Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain, antique beadboard sourced from historic homes in Texas and Mississippi, solid wood cabinetry and vanities, premium waterproof flooring throughout the living areas, and ceramic tile in the bathrooms. The chef's kitchen is complete with a commercial-style 36-inch gas range, while every fixture, appliance, and system was selected for quality and durability. Enjoy relaxing on the inviting porches and experience the unmatched lifestyle of Old Mandeville, where you can walk or bike to the Lakefront, Tammany Trace, restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and year-round community events. This is a rare opportunity to own an exceptionally engineered custom home in one of the Northshore's most sought-after neighborhoods. Such a well built and insulated home, utilities only reach $258 on the hottest months.
