Elegant Rocky Bayou Country Club Estates home is ''move in'' ready and waiting for you! The covered front porch welcomes you into the wide foyer. To the left of the foyer is the dining room that is open to the living room. The living room features new hickory hardwood floors and has a French door opening to the raised deck along the back of the house. Just down the hall from the living room you will find the kitchen and family room. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and granite counter space as well as a convenient breakfast bar. The kitchen is open to the family room that is accented with hardwood floors and a gas fireplace. There is also a French door in the family room that leads to the back deck. The master suite and bedroom #2 (currently being used as an office) are also on the main level. The master bedroom is accented by a double tray ceiling and the large master bath features a garden tub, separate shower, dual sink vanity and a walk in closet. The lower level of this home is the PERFECT place for kids and guests. There are two good sized bedrooms, a full bath and a convenient rec room that makes this a private retreat. There is also a French door that leads from the rec room out to the covered patio area and large back yard with plenty of room for kids, pets and a future pool. Another great feature of this home is the large laundry room on the main level as well as an oversized garage. Practical notes: The hickory wood floors were installed in 2013, the HVAC system on the main level was replaced in 2009 and the downstairs HVAC system was replaced in 2012. The roof was replaced in 2005 and the exterior is low maintenance brick and vinyl. Be sure to put this home at the TOP of your list because it won't be on the market long!
