Carroll Construction had the opportunity to build the Alvarez home in Iberville Parish, overlooking the inter-coastal canal.
Mrs. Alvarez had a vision and we were pleased to be able to help her achieve it while staying under budget!
Custom built on the owner's lot, Mr. Alvarez had a desire to include a balcony to watch as the boats traveled by. The home embraces the culture of the area in both design and function and we were so grateful to be a part of it.
Upon entering the home you are immediately taken in by the vaulting ceilings which extend from the lower family room to the upper balcony. This view is only second to the spacious kitchen designed for beauty and ease of use. With family life and spending time together as a priority, this home marries the casual feel of family time with luxury.
