NEW CONSTRUCTION!!! Never occupied. It has been on the market over the winter and the Seller says bring all offers! Seller financing is also available!!! This property is located on a picturesque curve of Van Etten Creek, and includes a long treated retaining wall, off the edge of the creek. Stairs leading down to the creek provide direct access for kayaks, canoes or other watercraft. Deer, turkey and other woodland residents are often viewed from the creek side deck, the lawn above the creek or the vast windows overlooking the area. A second attractive landscape retaining wall provides a lawn area below for summer outdoor activity. This 1907 sq. ft. home provides three bedrooms, a study or office area, three and a half baths, an amazing kitchen with dining area. The living area with gas fireplace next to the kitchen has an unbelievable view of the meandering creek through the side windows and 10 foot accordion door wall, which opens to the 12'x16' rear deck. A 7'x40' covered deck overlooks the creek and runs from the rear deck to a wrap-around 7'x14' covered entry porch to the front door.
