Some fortunate buyer will wake up with a smile every day in this timeless Bayou Desiard property. It was love at first sight when the current home owners laid eyes on this unique lot with a natural ravine flowing into the property. This is the only house on the bayou that features a ravine, and they immediately envisioned decking around the ravine to create the perfect outdoor entertainment area that brings the bayou right up to the middle of the backyard. Designed for a large family or for a family with grandchildren, this home offers many areas for connection with family as well as areas for privacy. Downstairs, there is a large master suite on one wing of the home, as well as another bedroom on the other wing of the home. Upstairs there are two other bedrooms and a sitting room that could also be used as either a playroom or another bedroom. Upon entering the front door, you will be greeted by a beautiful water view and a soaring ceiling with a large ceiling height stone fireplace and beautiful dark beams. The large family room opens to a dining room with both rooms having direct access to the outside entertainment area. In addition to the family room, there is another large den for family and guests to gather at the other end of the house. The kitchen features light cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances and a gas range. There is also a large breakfast area accessible from the kitchen and den. The back yard features a 616-sf of covered patio which connects to decking that extends almost to the bayou featuring a bridge that crosses the ravine. Lush landscaping along with several trees are incorporated into the decking. Other backyard features include a pool, a seawall and a boathouse/pier.
