Historic Elegance with Modern Comfort . . .
Once a charming country church, this one-of-a-kind residence has been expertly converted and renovated to combine timeless character with upscale finishes. Inside, vaulted wood ceilings, original built-ins, and wide-plank eucalyptus floors create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A stunning kitchen features granite counters, custom tile, and premium appliances, while three fireplaces—including a central brick hearth with new woodstove—offer cozy gathering spaces.
The thoughtful layout includes two main-level bedrooms, a luxurious upstairs primary suite, a private office nook, and a spacious laundry/utility room with outdoor access. Outside, enjoy beautifully landscaped grounds with a guest cottage/studio, gazebo with a state of the art spa, screened porch, firepit patio, and a three-car carriage-style garage with loft. Livestock ready with a two-stall stable and lean-to, all just one mile from a public boat launch and beach.
A rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained, history-rich home with true modern livability.
