Overview

This one-of-a-kind property offers the rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home with an attached guest house or rental unit. The layout is incredibly versatile: keep the spaces separate, as they are now, or open a wall on the 2nd floor to create a full 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath main home. Even with the connection, you’ll still have a private 1 bedroom unit (convert the guest living into a bedroom)—perfect as a pool house, in-law quarters, home office, or income-producing rental. The guest house offers 1,160 sqft with 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, laundry, a living room, and a large dining area that opens to a full kitchen, with projected rental income of about $1,850 per month. The main house provides 2,420 sqft with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, laundry, office, living, kitchen, dining, and breakfast area. With both units separately metered, the property can easily function as a dual rental investment, a multigenerational residence, or a spacious single-family home with unmatched flexibility.

A striking wood front door with glass panes opens into a bright, welcoming foyer, setting the tone for the rest of the home. From here, the space flows seamlessly into the expanded dining room, and opens to the kitchen, breakfast area & living room overlooking the backyard.

Tile and wood flooring extend throughout the main house, complemented by an elegant updated staircase. While a flexible office/mudroom has been enhanced with built-in storage and a bench.

The kitchens and bathrooms feature refreshed cabinetry with granite countertops, modern hardware & fixtures, and select new appliances.

The exterior is just as impressive, featuring a NEW ROOF, a beautifully bricked front porch entrance, and updated fencing with new gates. Two rear patios provide plenty of outdoor living space, while the professionally landscaped yard offers easy maintenance and ample room to add a pool if desired. Hardy Zoysia grass ensures year-round curb appeal with excellent durability and weed resistance, and a French drain system adds peace of mind.

Rear alley access leads to plenty of parking with a freshly painted double carport with an attached workshop and storage, plus an additional oversized parking area measuring 24.4’ x 14.5’.

The guest house enjoys its own private side and rear entrances, as well as a back patio for added privacy. All appliances, curtains, and blinds remain, and the home is fitted with energy-efficient double-pane vinyl windows.

Conveniently located near **City Park and Bayou Oaks Golf Course**, the Lakefront, shopping, dining, doctors, churches, and schools, this property offers endless possibilities—whether as a multigenerational retreat, a dual rental investment, or a single-family residence with a private pool house.
