AMAZING! 406 sq. ft. Guest House not included in living area! This one-of-a-kind home sits on 1.46 acres on Historic Highland Road and meets Bayou Fountain at the rear of the property. The home was architecturally designed by the owner and features stunning views of the outdoors. The main living area is on the second story where you enter the front door to find LR, DR, Kitchen, Study and MBR. Downstairs are 2 bedrooms, a landing and an oversized storage area. The rear porch, deck and patio area overlook the treed yard which extends to the bayou. The detached Guest House is a wonderful retreat! It has a living room/bedroom, kitchen and bath. The native landscaping is something to behold. Come take a look! A little slice of paradise in the middle of town.
