This property has all the best qualities that East Hill has to offer: great location, charm and character, ample space, designer updates, and even a storm shelter! The exterior has vinyl windows, a new AC unit in 2017, and a tankless Rinnai water heater all providing lower energy costs. The owner installed hurricane shutters, clips, gable bracing, and roof decking adhesive to lower the insurance cost. And there is even a two-car garage! From inside the home, the many large windows provide an open feel with lots of natural light in every room. Through the front storm door and beautiful picture window in the formal living room, guests can admire a partial view of Bayou Texar. Proceeding into the dining room, the modern crystal chandelier and wall sconces add some sparkle to any entertaining occasion. Guests will also find a nice seating area at the kitchen bar where they can observe the very large kitchen complete with all Kenmore Elite appliances. And yes, the refrigerator and freezer are really that large! The kitchen is also spacious enough to accommodate a very large island. Just off the kitchen is the family room with built-in shelves, ceiling fans, gas fireplace, a half bath for guest use, and beautiful views of the back yard through the two extra-large windows. The family room and kitchen both provide access to the entertaining spaces in the beautifully-landscaped, terraced back yard. Guests can enjoy dining outside the kitchen on the paved patio or sipping cocktails under the elevated pergola; just add some hanging strand lights to make the perfect evening retreat. And for a great conversation starter, the storm shelter is a unique piece of history to share with guests! When it comes time to retire for the evening, both the master suite and guest bedrooms provide ample space, and the two completely remodeled bathrooms offer a luxurious way to freshen up at the end of the day. This beautifully updated home maintains its quaint East Hill charm!
