Change is natural. Change is good. This home originally designed by architect A. Hays Town was an absolute joy to renovate. This home with its expansive glass walls allows a true connection to take place between the inside and out. Like the inside - never more than one room deep - the yard is a series of garden rooms each with its own unique character and features.
The courtyard design highlights and embraces a southern style with traditional brick and warm bluestone paving along with a lush mix of tender perennial and hardy evergreen planting. A linear solid brick band carries your eye through the length of the courtyard, connecting house to lake. In the center of the band and the courtyard, an existing brick and iron fountain was kept to highlight a cross axis and create a focal point.
333 Flats is the second phase of a larger residential development by Dantin Bruce. Located just steps away from LSU's campus between Burbank Drive and Highland Road.

The Coach Dupe Trail offers a unique and challenging experience for the school's cross country team and athletes.
