Warm, welcoming and thoughtfully designed for family life, this custom French Country home in Bayou View -- lovingly cared for by its original owner -- offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and a half bath, plus abundant flexible living space. Multiple living areas (living room/dining option, breakfast room, cozy sitting room and a den with custom built-ins) are each anchored by a fireplace, creating warm, inviting spaces throughout the home. The home's character shines with solid brick floors, hardwood and detailed wainscoting on the first floor, lending classic elegance to every room. The primary suite is a private retreat with his-and-hers baths for added convenience and privacy. Upstairs, three roomy bedrooms with hardwood floors share two full bathrooms -- an ideal layout for children or guests. Outside, the spacious backyard continues to impress with a versatile office/playroom (not included in heated square footage) equipped with a new mini-split AC, a workshop, and a greenhouse for gardening enthusiasts. The large circular driveway and a stately oak tree create strong curb appeal. As the long-time owner said, ''The house is a part of us.'' This is more than a property -- it's a cared-for family home in Bayou View, ready to welcome its next chapter.
