Undoubtedly, one of the best locations on Bayou Texar! This waterfront property is located across from Birnam Woods on Cove Road, which dead ends at the water’s edge, affording a quiet and serene atmosphere. The large 1.3 acre lot has 170 feet of waterfront facing south to the widest part of the bayou. From the rarely found beautiful sandy beach, the lovely screened-in porch, or the wide deck of the boat dock, the new homeowners will enjoy long views of the bayou, catch a glimpse of a playful dolphin, or delight in watching the many species of shorebirds. Also, this wide section of the bayou is perfect for water activities. The property is a short drive to shopping, the airport, and downtown. It is within walking distance of two excellent private elementary schools. Thanks to great architectural planning, the expansive lot, and well positioned windows, almost every room of the house has amazing water views. It is also designed to maximize the enjoyment of outdoor living and the Bayou Texar lifestyle. A spacious deck area runs along the back of the house, leading down to the pool area with open deck. The open design of the living area with game tables and a wet bar lends itself to easy entertaining. A gas fireplace lights with a touch of the remote, while the unique wood staircase is a design feature that adds warmth and interest. There are 3 bedrooms (one en suite) and 2 baths on the first level with the huge master suite, an en suite bedroom and a study upstairs, all with water views. An office area downstairs is adjacent to a very large open kitchen and dining area with a massive clinker brick wall. The 2-car garage is on the lower level and opens up to a basement area with a full pool bath. The photos, while good, simple don’t capture the visual and tranquil experience you have from a personal visit.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
