Across the street from the bayou, in a park-like setting, this jewel will impress you with the open floor plan, unexpected space, privacy, and comfort. Open the wide front doors and immediately step onto the Chicago brick floor that flows throughout the spacious living, dining and kitchen areas ending at the back windows that view a relaxing backyard. The vaulted ceiling, wall of windows that surround the brick fireplace and gallery style entrance are open and airy, filed with natural light. The large kitchen features generous wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry and a welcoming breakfast area with windows on two sides. Adjacent, the dining area can easily seat 10 with room for sideboard, etc. Note the unexpected storage throughout the home. The primary bedroom is oversized, neutral in color and has two large walk-in closets and an ensuite bath with a newer walk-in tiled shower and two vanities with cabinets. The additional two bedrooms provide views of the natural beauty of trees and birds, have good closet space and are comfortable in size. An attractive full bath is accessible from either room. A piece de resistance is the full length, back porch that is screened, glassed, heated & air conditioned! A perfect spot to relax, read and enjoy any time of day. Don’t miss the accessible heated and cooled bonus room over the two car garage. Also, an added room built outside the back porch is an ideal shop, workout space, hobby room, etc. Designed by an engineer, there is no wasted space. Rebuild has fortified the home and clear storm shutters are numbered and neatly stored. The two car garage has a high ceiling, a small closet in the back and added hanging storage. A parking pad off the deep curved driveway is very convenient. Conveniently located just a few minutes from the mall, airport, hospital and all the activities downtown, you will find much to love, appreciate and enjoy in this beautifully maintained East Hill home.
