A grand and comfortable home on an incomparable and private waterfront estate of over 10 acres! The moment you drive down the long, paved lane, you'll be amazed! The magnificent woods open to reveal an unfolding tableau of rolling manicured grounds, outbuildings and swimming pool all combining to welcome you to the lovely residence. This site is without peer, from its acres of park-like woodlands to the siting of the home on its terraced hillock, overlooking the water! The 3-bedroom residence is grand and yet cozy, and designed for maximum enjoyment of the outdoors... The pool's lounge area connects to a sun patio, which in turn adjoins a wraparound deck and a huge (17'6'' x 27'5''+) vaulted screened porch (+ dining area) which creates a seamless transition from the large interior living area to the gorgeous natural setting! The kitchen is remarkable for its expansive granite counters, 10' eat-in island and abundant cabinetry. There's a dining space and sunny breakfast nook, too. Openly adjoining is a two-story vaulted living room, anchored by a comfortable fireplace, creating an intimate feel within the spacious room. A downstairs master suite is close to the porch and upstairs is a large loft overlook (ideal for a rec area), two bedrooms w/connected baths and a sizable office! This home has taken a formality of design and made it invitingly comfortable and convivial. So many features abound and the home is immaculate! The nearby outbuildings complete the scene - A short walk to a 30 x 50' garage/workshop/Man Cave which, has a wood stove and bathroom & 50' carports! It is separately metered and has its own septic system. Close by is a fantastic state-of-the- art greenhouse (heated) with a pergola deck and dog run! The deep, protected tributary of Baird's Creek (Cedar Gut) awaits w/a concrete pier, covered boatlift! You'll love the large pool and the grounds of this, your private, waterfront nature-lover's retreat! Contact us to learn of more special features!
