Resting in the dappled shade of a classic Southern magnolia, 318 Gerald Drive offers an escape. It is where the pace slows and the living is easy. This is a home that feels removed from the world, yet places you in the very heart of one of Lafayette's most convenient neighborhoods. The thoughtful layout invites you to move effortlessly from room to sunlit room, where spaces feel both generous and intimate. Days begin in the updated kitchen, and flow naturally to the enormous back patio--your private stage for morning coffee surrounded by birdsong or evening gatherings under the stars. It's an outdoor room for a life well-lived.Inside, a spirit of careful preservation meets subtle modern updates. The home's soul shines in the master bath, where original vintage tile tells a story of enduring style. It's a detail that speaks to those who value that special little je ne sais quoi.Here, the school yard is merely a pleasant walk away at Edgar Martin Middle School, with its highly-regarded elementary feeder just a quick bike ride down the street.Connect. Retreat. Entertain. Belong. This is how you live here.
