From here, the home flows effortlessly to the screened back patio, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience ideal for entertaining or relaxed evenings watching your favorite game. The chef's kitchen is both striking and functional, showcasing premium Wolf appliances, a gas range, an eye-catching copper vent hood, and elegant marble countertops.

The primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by soaring ceilings and expansive windows that frame peaceful preserve views. The spa-inspired primary bath features dual marble-topped vanities, a classic clawfoot soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile surround. Additional bedrooms on the main level include a Jack-and-Jill layout as well as a private ensuite guest room, plus a conveniently located half bath.

Botany Bayou is a boutique, gated community known for its quiet, natural setting and limited number of homesites.
