This gorgeous waterfront home on Big Lake has every single thing that the water lover/fisher/hunter could want in a home or camp. This home, with high-end finishes galore, offers a warm and homey vibe with an understated elegance, and unobstructed water views that go on forever. Featuring 160-feet of frontage on Big Lake (aka Calcasieu Lake), those who enjoy fishing will love the 400-foot pier to the private boat dock, brand new all-aluminum boat lift, a fish cleaning station, and lights for night fishing. The workmanship and quality of the finishes are apparent as soon as you enter the home. The solid heart-pine plank floors throughout create a warm environment and beautifully compliment the sinker Cypress cabinets in the kitchen, bath, study and laundry. The gourmet kitchen also boasts an oversized granite island, a 6-burner gas stove, and all appliances. The living and dining rooms boast wall-to-wall windows overlooking the lake, cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace. Just off of the living room is the outdoor deck overlooking the expansive and lushly-landscaped yard and the lake. The spacious master suite include a spa-style bath with a soaker tub and a separate walk-in shower, and a huge walk-in closet fitted out with built-ins. Next to the master suite is a study with custom cabinets and a gun closet. On the 2nd floor are two additional bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, and lovely views. All of this is accessible from ground level by a brand new elevator, an interior staircase, or an exterior staircase. To round out this entertainer's paradise, on the ground level is a large 24 x 21 screened patio and outdoor kitchen which includes a wet bar, a full bathroom, and more beautiful views...the PERFECT place to host family gatherings, crawfish boils, Saints or Tigers viewing parties, or after-fishing/hunting cocktails. Located just 15-minutes from the casinos, shopping, restaurants, schools, hospitals, etc... in Lake Charles, this home will function beautifully as either a full-time residence, a vacation home, or a vacation rental. The location of this home will allow you to put your boat into the water and spend a day or an evening fishing the lake, or to navigate into the ship channel and all the way out to the Gulf of Mexico!
