Hays Town and renovated by Al Jones, the residence carries a pedigree of 2 of Louisiana’s most celebrated architects. From the moment you arrive, the home evokes the romance and scale of a classic estate and feels worlds away from the city. A remarkable 100’ front porch stretches gracefully across the façade creating an unparalleled setting. Heritage crepe myrtles, layered landscaping, antique brick pathways surround the home with a sense of permanence and privacy that cannot be replicated. Inside, the scale is grand while the atmosphere remains warm and inviting, a hallmark of A Hays Town’s timeless design.
