This older waterfront brick home was built in 1957. It was built for beauty and comfort. The house was updated in 2003.
It comprises 2600 square feet of living space, including 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a large living room with formal dining area, a wonderful spacious kitchen with separate laundry room and a glassed in great room that we call the "Party Room."

The master bedroom has wall-to-wall carpeting, an attached bath and French doors that open onto a small patio with a beautiful view of a Live Oak that overhangs the bayou.

The spare bedroom has hardwood floors and a half wall of brick facing.

The third bedroom has knotty pine planking for walls and hardwood floors. The view of the tall pines in the front yard makes this room a great office area.

The Living room has terrazzo tile floors that were original to the house and are beautifully maintained. The entry way has an antique leaded glass door and floor-to-ceiling mirrors for a dramatic entrance area.

The dining area has cherry finished pine wainscoting. The French doors and windows between the living room and the party room open up to create a large open area for entertaining.

The kitchen is spacious with an eating nook and a breakfast bar. The Corian counter tops and the terrazzo tile floor have a coffee tone that really complement the cabinets and cupboards which are all wood with honey pine finish. There is a Dutch door that opens into the party room. The stainless steel Kenmore gas range and trash compactor go with the house.

The "Party Room" is glassed in with a view of the bayou and the in-ground pool. There is a round fireplace in the center of the space and a professional built-in bar with sink & stove. The slate floors set all of this off.

The lot is 75 feet wide at the street and 199 feet deep. The front yard is deep with tall pines and a reflecting pool and bench. The house is set back from the road about 80 feet. There is a bulkhead at the back of the property that runs about 135 feet, which makes a great pier on the bayou. The bayou averages about 6 feet deep in the shallow season but is always at least 4 feet deep at the bulkhead. The bayou has an inlet that turns and comes up the north side of the lot. This gives us about 240 feet of water frontage. There is a dry boathouse with a winch and crane on the northeast corner of the bayou that needs to be restored.

There is a 2 car carport at the front of the house. The property has 3 patio areas; one on the north side of the house off of the Party Room, one at the northeast end of the house off of the Party Room by the swimming pool, and the third is off of the master bedroom at the southeast end on the back of the house.

The swimming pool is a 9 foot deep in-ground Gunite pool.
