The work has already been done—this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath smart home in South Lake Charles is truly move-in ready. Situated on a desirable corner lot, the black decorative fenced yard offers inviting curb appeal and leads to a painted brick exterior home with over 1,700 square feet of living space. Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully designed layout featuring scratch-resistant bamboo flooring throughout—no carpet anywhere. The living area has a gas-assist wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen is a standout with quartz countertops, an oversized eat-in island, and stainless steel appliances, all of which remain, including the touch-screen refrigerator, washer, and dryer. Be sure to note the hidden pantry and spacious laundry room—both practical touches that set this home apart. The backyard is fully privacy fenced and includes a covered patio, ideal for relaxing evenings or weekend cookouts. Additional features include ceiling fans with lighting in the bedrooms, recessed lighting throughout the main living areas, and tastefully updated fixtures in the bathrooms. The guest bathroom is equipped with a smart light/exhaust fan for added convenience. Located in Flood Zone X. All measurements are approximate. Schedule your showing with a Realtor today—homes like this don’t stay available for long.
