Completed in 2022 and meticulously maintained by its original owner, this one-of-a-kind home offers approximately 3,150 square feet of beautifully curated living space overlooking the tranquil waters of Bayou Bernard with deep-water access to the Gulf of Mexico. From sunrise coffee on the porch to breathtaking Gulf Coast sunsets reflected across the bayou, every detail of this home was designed to embrace its spectacular waterfront setting. The south-facing rear porch captures cooling coastal breezes while offering some of the most captivating water views on the bayou. With ample waterfront footage, the property provides the opportunity to construct a private boathouse and dock, creating the ultimate waterfront lifestyle. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level and 9-foot ceilings upstairs create an atmosphere of openness and elegance. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features four spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a dedicated home office with custom built-in desk and shelving, and an expansive bonus room that can easily serve as a second living area, media room, playroom, or fifth bedroom. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with KitchenAid appliances, natural stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and an open layout ideal for gathering with family and friends. Just beyond, the fully equipped butler's pantry offers exceptional functionality with its own beverage refrigerator, built-in ice maker, second dishwasher, and extensive custom storage—perfect for entertaining on any scale while keeping the main kitchen effortlessly organized. The inviting living room is anchored by a stunning gas fireplace surrounded by custom built-in cabinetry and shelving, highlighted by a Samsung Frame television that seamlessly blends technology with timeless design. Luxury continues throughout with custom cabinetry in every space, additional built-in desks upstairs, generous storage closets, and carefully planned spaces that make everyday living both beautiful and practical. A spacious main-floor laundry room is complemented by additional laundry hookups on the second floor, providing flexibility for future convenience. Designed with accessibility and longevity in mind, a residential elevator provides effortless access to all three levels of the home. Constructed above the minimum flood elevation, this residence offers exceptional peace of mind while delivering impressive energy efficiency. A dedicated water meter for exterior faucets adds another thoughtful feature for maintaining the landscape and outdoor living spaces economically. This is more than a waterfront home—it is a rare opportunity to own a nearly new custom residence where sophisticated design, quality craftsmanship, and an extraordinary coastal setting come together to create an exceptional lifestyle.
