5706 Dyer Dr, Alexandria, LA, 71302
About This Home
Designed and built in 1971 by award-winning architect Eugene T. Glankler, Jr., this distinctive contemporary home captures the harmony between architecture and nature along the tranquil banks of Bayou Robert. Expansive windows frame water views and fill the living spaces with natural light, while the home’s unique interior pond with goldfish serves as a striking focal point and a favorite topic among guests. Thoughtful renovations beginning in 2020 include updates to the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring, along with the 2023 addition of a utility room, guest half bath, and covered patio space. The inviting kitchen and dining areas have long been the heart of the home, designed for gathering and entertaining, complemented by a cozy conversation pit and wood-burning fireplace. A convenient coffee nook with its own water supply adds a distinctive touch. Outdoors, native landscaping, a greenhouse, and regular visits from mallards and wood ducks create a serene connection to the natural surroundings. With a newer roof, skylights, updated HVAC systems, and a seamless blend of original design and modern comfort, 5706 Dyer Drive stands as a timeless example of inspired contemporary living.
