Nestled on 2.39 acres along the deep-water Abita River, this exceptional waterfront estate offers luxury, recreation, and privacy. A winding driveway leads to an updated residence where seclusion extends from the home to the riverfront boat slip. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the updated dock with electric boat hoist and direct access to the Abita River, connecting to the Bogue Falaya, Tchefuncte River, and Lake Pontchartrain. A grand staircase welcomes you to a wraparound porch overlooking the serene surroundings. Inside, a formal dining room opens to a light-filled living room with a wall of windows, fireplace, wet bar, and powder room. The main level also features a family room with gas fireplace, breakfast nook, and updated chef's kitchen with premium Thermador appliances, built-in refrigerator and dishwasher, and hardwood floors throughout. A private office with built-in bookcases and two guest bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, a loft with built-in desk leads to the primary suite featuring a renovated spa bath with double vanities, clawfoot soaking tub, oversized shower, and dual walk-in closets. Two additional bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and laundry room complete the upper level. Outdoor amenities include a gated pool and hot tub, screened porch, outdoor shower, climate-controlled workshop, and whole-house generator. With no HOA restrictions, you'll enjoy the freedom to keep animals, add workshops or outbuildings, and make the property your own. Offering deep-water access, exceptional privacy, and country living minutes from town, this Northshore retreat is truly one of a kind. A substantial list of recent property improvements and upgrades is available in the attached documents, showcasing the extensive care and investment made throughout the home and grounds.
