Welcome to 20 Waterford Lake in the prestigious community of Waterford Bend, in The Village of Cochran's Crossing. Designed to be an "old new house" and not any specific time period, it was designed to be warm and welcoming. 
Large wrap around porch, double wide driveway, a kitchen/herb garden just outside the kitchen window, and charming curb appeal!
A step back in time, when things were constructed with beauty and pride by true craftsman. This gorgeous front door frame comes from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. You will see this same quality and beauty throughout this home and property. 
Steps from your kitchen, you can grow your herbs or have a cutting garden.
Reclaimed wood floors from an old industrial building set the stage for the stunning interior finishes throughout this home. 
Another view of the warm tones from the reclaimed wood floors and gorgeous and unique interior finishes.
The Formal Dining Room overlooks the wrap-around porch, adjacent to the family room.
Gorgeous Butler's Pantry sets off the Kitchen, adjacent to the Formal Dining Room. Not shown in this photo is a large walk-in pantry.
The family room overlooks the outdoor patio, pool & spa, summer kitchen, fireplace and lush gardens with views of the golf course. Note the rich beauty brought into this room through the many windows, Craftsman French doors, brick wall accents, wood beams and columns. 
The Family Room with a view towards the Formal Dining Room. Hearty craftsman mantle, built-in cabinetry and shelving, gorgeous beams, and transom windows accent the room and gas log fireplace. 
Create your perfect island design as the seller has done in this photo. Kitchen features wood beams, stainless steel Wolf gas range with griddle, glass front cabinetry and window with views of the drive and herb garden. 
Shaker cabinets with decorative pulls, large farmhouse sink, concrete counters, and a large window to bring the outdoors in. 
Another view of this space and the adjoining Butler's pantry. Not shown is a huge walk-in pantry.
This room truly speaks for itself! The stenciled words above the molding are from Texas song writer Guy Clark. The hand-painted floor cloth stays with the home.
Another beautiful view of the Breakfast Room, second staircase, and additional storage tucked under the staircase.
The study features large windows and views of the front porch, gardens, and side-yard.
French doors open into this study, complete with it's own closet for storage.
One of two interior half baths on the first floor.
Stately Master Suite features French Doors to a large enclosed porch with access to the pool & spa, and summer kitchen, gorgeous drapes, large base molding, and beautiful casing around the windows.
The master suite is tucked away from the rest of the house, offering peace and privacy.
Directly off the master bedroom, you have a nice place to enjoy your morning coffee. No matter the weather, the view won't disappoint!
The large enclosed porch off of the master suite will be a favorite spot to start or end your day.
Not to be outdone by the rest of the home, the Master Bath has some unique elements of its own! The casing around the mirrors are constructed of old molding and cornice block. Dual sinks, pedestal tub, walk-in shower, large walk-in closet and those gorgeous wood floors!
This window is from a police station in Missouri!
Second sink in Master Suite. So many unique details and beautiful craftsmanship throughout this wonderful home!
Shelving and pocket doors leading to the Master Closet.
This half bath is off the side entrance hall between the laundry room, another large storage closet, the side entrance, and garage - convenience meets character!
This room is tucked away off of the second staircase from the kitchen. The space is versatile, and private.
Another view that highlights the continuous architectural details and thoughtful planning in the construction of the home. The window above the bench seat looks out to the drive, and the window above the chair looks over the backyard and golf course. The spider window is a neat touch adding additional charm and character from inside and out. 
We absolutely love this secondary bedroom upstairs! Large walk-in closet with custom built-ins, window bench seating, plank accented wall, and gorgeous floors.

Prestigious community, stunning views, character and charm, exemplary schools, and central location make this a dream home truly one-of-a-kind!Price has been adjusted to account for a different square footage than the original of 5250 sq ft. Architecturally designed to capture the sellers’ vision of a “New Old House”. Famed treasures include the front door frame, from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, reclaimed wood floors from an old industrial building, and salvaged windows from a police station in Missouri - there isn’t another one like it! Sitting on over a half acre, the home boasts five bedrooms and extends over an estimated 5,250 sf. Lush trees and gardens surround the property creating privacy not typical of a golf course lot. The charm of the wrap around porch and many outdoor seating options, pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and fireplace are ideal for a relaxed lifestyle, sophisticated outdoor entertaining, and endless swings on the golf course.
