Completely renovated raised home on the scenic Sally Waterway! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath beauty includes an office and a versatile downstairs apartment—perfect for guests, entertaining, or extra income. Just a 10-minute boat ride to the Tchefuncte River and Lake Pontchartrain, this property offers the ultimate waterfront lifestyle in the highly sought-after Blue Ribbon Mandeville School District.
Over the past two years, this home has been thoughtfully updated inside and out. The chef’s kitchen wows with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a spacious island, cypress beam accents, and custom pantry shelving. You'll love the warmth of LVP flooring throughout, a cozy propane ventless fireplace, and spa-like bathrooms with modern finishes. The hot water heater is less than 5 years old, and the HVAC system is under 3 years old—just move in and enjoy!
Outdoor living is equally impressive! Relax or entertain under one of two custom pergolas—one designed for gatherings and another with a charming swing. The 60-foot bulkhead features a Trex dock extension and a 3’x50’ pier, ideal for your party barge or fishing boat. All decks and railings are constructed with Trex and vinyl for easy maintenance and long-lasting durability.
The downstairs level includes a partially converted garage with a Ninja-coated entertaining area that opens to a +/-500 sq. ft. apartment with its own kitchenette and full bath. Designed to handle high water, the apartment is built with durable materials including treated lumber baseboards, vinyl paneling, and concrete board walls.
Other highlights include a 50-amp generator hookup, a 26-gauge galvalume metal roof, brand new fencing, and a deep water well (dug an extra 100 feet to help avoid filtration needs). Flood insurance is just $600/year and assumable!
