7518 sq ft with a full walkout basement overlooking a pond and Lake Charles-what a view! This house has the wow factor with enormous ceiling heights and windows galore. The home has been on the private market as a coming soon property for months and now it is officially open for showings! The property offers 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms with the walkout basement offering a private office or in-law suite. There is a first floor bedroom with an attached full bathroom also available for guests to stay or another option for in-law living. The home has been meticulously maintained with significant upgrades added by the current owners. Too many upgrades to list them all but some standouts include a 1/2 bath added to the first floor, hardwood added to bedrooms, upgraded carpeting for runners, walkout basement and immense master bedroom closet, added outdoor lighting, an additional 75 gallon water heater, fully heated garage and electric car charger, upgraded security system including exterior cameras, and the home has smart home technology throughout. There are also two remodeled bathrooms on the second floor where every bedroom has its own private attached bathroom. All closets have been upgraded with built-ins, and light fixtures and window treatments are also updated in the property. This house is a must-see!
