In this East Facing Bayou Vista home, you get expansive waterfront views from anywhere, including Highland Bayou, Jones Bay, the wetlands and the railroad trestle. Being located near the end of the canal makes for quick access to the bay to take the boat out to fish or for a relaxing cruise. When you return from your fishing expedition dock your boat in the boathouse and get to cleaning those fish at the cleaning station. There is plenty of outdoor patio space, both up and down to entertain in this one. The downstairs of the home has a full bedroom and bath, also fantastic when entertaining. There is also a lift which is great for getting groceries and other heavy objects up. Upstairs features a clean neutral pallet and open kitchen living area, 2 beds, full bath and laundry hook-ups. Right off of the living room there is a sunroom to enjoy and relax while taking in those breathtaking views. Home has new AC and Roof all done in 2024.
