About This Home
What a FABULOUS LOCATION for this beautiful and well-maintained home one block from the lake! Take a leisurely stroll to the levee and enjoy the beauty of lovely homes and views of Lake Pontchartrain. The highly sought Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies is in walking distance and shopping and restaurants are close by. The roof is only four years old, which allows for very favorable home insurance rates. This house has it all - two separate living areas, formal dining and five bedrooms plus an office. The gourmet kitchen offers lots of counterspace (with extra thick granite), an island, beautiful cabinetry and two pantries. There is a brand-new stove with a 5-burner cooktop and an air fryer and a grill. All windows were replaced approx. 5 years ago by Window World and the sellers are also offering a one-year home warranty for peace of mind for the new owners. The primary bedroom and bath is upstairs, along with three other bedrooms and a Jack and Jill bath. The backyard is a plant and tree lover's dream, with a variety of fruit-bearing trees, including pear, fig, pomegranate, papaya, lemon, guava, moringa and a bay leaf bush. The flood policy for this home is only $1,147 and can be transferred to the new buyer. The side driveway allows lots of room for parking and fits four vehicles easily. Don't miss this one!
