JUST REDUCED!  Along with C1 zoning, the ground level of this property could easily be a MIL suite, caretaker apartment, or a professional's office.  Perfect for corporate entertaining. 

The ground level (1,747 SF living area) of this unique waterfront home on the Tchefuncte River could easily be used as a mother-in-law suite, a nanny/caretaker apartment, or could be a professional's office.  It has 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 bath, a full kitchen with walk-in pantry, granite countertops and a bar with seating for 6, a pub-style living/dining room with beautiful hand-painted ceiling, and a covered veranda for enjoying the spa, infinity-edge pool, and of course the wonderful River breezes! 

There is also an interior stairwell to the second floor (main residence) living area, and an interior elevator for your added convenience that serves all three floors.  The front foyer provides access to the parking court on Mabel Drive, and the French doors across the back lead to the veranda, pool, spa and boat dock on the River.

This ground level did not sustain any water from Hurricane Rita, and less than 2 inches from Hurricane Katrina.  However, the floors throughout the ground level are attractive 18-inch ceramic tile for ease of maintenance, especially since this area is adjacent to the wet areas of the pool and spa.   Further, the owners removed all  baseboards and sheetrock after Hurricane Katrina to a 3-foot height, added chair rail, and replaced the sheetrock with HardiPlank as wainscotting , for further ease of maintenance. 

The entire structure is supported with cement columns and beams, and there are break-away walls in the event of future severe weather.

Please take a look at the photos of this beautiful interior.  As you can see, it would be a marvelous space for corporate or family entertaining, or perhaps once again as a bed-and-breakfast with the main residence (two upper floors) occupied by the owners.   

The ground floor of many (if not all) riverfront properties in Madisonville and other similar waterfront areas cannot be insured because of our unique floodplain.  However, the materials and workmanship used to make the ground floor of this property beautifully habitable must surely be taken into consideration.   Although many riverfront-property owners decide to leave the ground level open and unimproved, choosing instead to use it for storage and light entertaining, the ground level of 107 Mabel Drive is fully useable and compares favorably to any other 1,747 SF riverfront residence where taste and sophistication are the order of the day. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss this unique lifestyle property.  It would be my pleasure to make your acquaintance and schedule your own private showing!  Sincerely, Paulette
