Downstairs is designed for both entertaining and everyday life. A formal dining room anchored by a statement chandelier sets the tone for gatherings, while the adjacent sitting room offers a warm, inviting space to unwind. The showpiece kitchen features dramatic granite countertops with coordinating hardware, an oversized center island with prep sink, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry, providing abundant workspace and storage. The comfortable living room includes a second wet bar and flows seamlessly into a bright sunroom with views of the backyard, bringing the outdoors in. A full downstairs bath with shower and a conveniently located laundry area sit near the pool, making after-swim clean-up easy and keeping the rest of the home tidy. Outdoor living is a true highlight. A covered brick patio extends your living and dining space outdoors, complete with a full outdoor kitchen for al fresco cooking and entertaining. The beautifully landscaped yard offers both privacy and charm, with tranquil views of the bayou as your backdrop. Additional features include a 2-car garage and a whole-house generator, ensuring year-round comfort, security, and peace of mind. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy gracious indoor-outdoor living on Bayou St. John in a move-in-ready home with thoughtful details throughout.
