Property Description
GEEZ LOUISE! You may have driven around Moss Bluff a hundred times and never realized this quiet little dead-end road even existed. Hidden within the familiar rhythm of town sits approximately * 1.86 acres * that feels like its own private retreat. Cherished by the same family since 1991, this isn't a home that was prepared for the market over a weekend. It's a home that's been lived in, thoughtfully improved, meticulously maintained, and genuinely loved for more than three decades—and it shows. Offering approximately 1,617 square feet of living area, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features luxury vinyl flooring throughout the main living areas, tile flooring in the foyer and bathrooms, generous storage, and flexible bonus spaces that can easily become a home office, hobby room, exercise room, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove, while countless improvements made over the years allow the next owner to simply settle in and enjoy. The details are there—you'll appreciate them as you walk through the home. Then...you step outside. Just when you think you've seen it all...there's more. A covered deck. Two screened porches. A detached garage. Oversized covered carport. A 20' x 20' Hardy board workshop. An 8' x 12' storage building. Dedicated RV parking. Wide open green space. Every direction offers another reason this property has been so well loved. One of the property's most unique features is something you may never notice unless someone points it out. A maintained drainage canal along the rear of the property flows toward the Calcasieu River. According to the sellers, the home has never flooded during their ownership, and water has historically receded quickly due to the maintained drainage. The refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, kitchen television, two outdoor televisions, hot tub, wireless camera system, fire pit, remaining paint, and select building materials will remain with the property. Additional furnishings, generators, lawn equipment, gun safes, and other personal property may be negotiated separately. Some homes are easy to describe........This one is better experienced. Located in Flood Zones X and AE. Sellers currently maintain flood insurance which could be transferred. Measurements are approximate. Buyers should independently verify all information deemed important.
