Before reading this, we want to remind you that envy is still listed as one of the seven deadly sins.    Here’s a look at Shreveport-area homes where we would live if we were rich…

 

412 Braemar Ct.  – $2.85 Million

For $2,850,000, we could FINALLY get the Neon Bridge working properly.  We could fix SPAR’s Cargill Park softball fields and build a few more, if needed.  Or, we could just be selfish and buy this house in the Ellerbe area, which is probably what we’d do.  Hey, after earning that kind of money, we deserve a little treat. We’ve worked hard!

It sits on 1.5 acres and has 8 bathrooms – one for each day of the week and then one for special occasions/Tex-mex night (or at least that’s how we’d use them).

Bedrooms: 5
Baths: 8
Living area: 9,940 sq. ft.

The Biedenharn House – $3.75 Million

Courtesy: Coldwell Banker Gosslee’s website.

This is the house that the idea of bottling Coca Cola built.  It was originally built in 1922 by the Biedenharn family, who were the first to put Coke in a bottle. They also played a large role in turning a Monroe crop-dusting company into Delta Airlines.  That kind of entrepreneurial spirit allowed for a pretty swank crib.

Notable features: The vast pool area is elegant yet screams, “Let’s have a huge party and invite whomever”.  It has a carriage house, which none of us have any idea what that is, but it sounds fancy.

Bedrooms: 4
Baths: 4.5
Living area: 5,620 sq. ft.

10323 Ellerbe Rd.  – $2.5 Million

According to our sources, Richard Nixon once stayed on this sprawling, 8.5-acre estate.  If it’s good enough for a commander-in-chief or two, it’s probably worth considering.

Bedrooms: 4
Baths: 7
Living area: 5,256 sq. ft.

5082 Westrilee (Benton) – $2.2 Million

When one thinks of Benton, LA, ten thousand square-foot, lakeside mansions don’t immediately come to mind. Neither do a wine cellar, media room, and four fire places, but that’s exactly what you’ll find at this not-so-humble abode.

Bedrooms: 5
Baths: 6
Living area: 10,000 sq. ft.
