About This Home

Enjoy the luxury of two homes for the price of one. This recently renovated custom 3 bedroom/2 bath home has a detached fully equipped 1 bedroom/1 bath carriage apartment above a two-car garage. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood just 10 minutes from the beach with bay access for paddle boards/kayaks just around the corner. Grand Boulevard for shopping, Baytowne Wharf and Ascension Sacred Heart hospital are all nearby. Mature oak & hickory trees provide shade and privacy to relax on the expansive front porch with your morning coffee or to enjoy an afternoon cook-out on the back paver patio. This home has luxury vinyl plank floors throughout, vaulted ceilings in the open concept main room and a gas fireplace with built-ins and beverage refrigerator/bar area. An adjoining flex room surrounded by windows on three sides offers options for an office, work-out room, or second family living space. The kitchen has a large island with waterfall edge and storage on both sides, farmhouse sink, smart stainless appliances, microwave drawer and walk-in pantry. The spacious primary suite has extra details like ship lap walls and a custom walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom has a seven-foot-long dual vanity, free standing tub and glass enclosed shower with bench, linen closet and separate water closet. The split floorplan has two large bedrooms with deep closets and a second bathroom with oversized shower. A washer & dryer closet with cabinets is next to the bedrooms. The carriage apartment is fully equipped as a separate living space, ideal for a mature family member or a home office. The main room has vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, full sized kitchen, breakfast bar and alcove perfect for a desk. A kitchen pantry and two walk-in closets provide plenty of room for storage. The separate bedroom is large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed with an alcove space for a reading nook. The adjoining bathroom has a tub/shower combo and pocket door. A screened porch provides additional living space and feels like a treehouse with views of the backyard. A washer/dryer with storage area is in the garage. The garage has two separate bays 25 feet long with plenty of room for cars and storage. Enjoy additional upgrades for carefree living like a new roof, energy efficient ac/heat pump, high-end fixtures, lighting, and vinyl plank floors. This home is rented UNFURNISHED.
