On the Bayou! Custom Home in Beautiful RiverOaks Subdivision

Beautiful custom crafted home located on scenic Bayou Desiard in River Oaks subdivision.  Close to everything, this home provides the owner with amenities most desired in a custom home. 

Main home has 3416 HSF, with a large garage (816 SF) suitable for up to 3 vehicles, with upper and lower balconies (1120 SF) overlooking the in-ground pool & waterfall and of course, beautiful Bayou Desiard.  A separate, central air & heated building (1120 SF) provides a great hobbyroom/workshop/2nd garage/business storage/party house, or could function as a separate apartment as well.

The main home has four bedrooms with 2 located on one end of the house, with a shared bath.  The master bedroom is located on the other end, with an adjacent bath.  An office (baby room/nursery, etc.) is situated near the master suite.  Between sleeping areas is an open-concept kitchen and living room with a 17 foot high ceiling--all overlooking the patio, pool and bayou.  Upstairs is another very large suite with attached bath, currently being used as a game room, but could be used as another master suite, a theatre room, or an apartment.   Adjacent to the upstairs suite is an upper patio balcony, with great views.

The home is perfectly oriented to provide beautiful sunrises over the water that bathes the interior with cheerful sunlight.  And in the afternoon, the pool and patio are protected from the sun while lighting up the bayou cypress trees across the water.
