A gracious waterfront residence that perfectly refines the private woodland setting over which it presides: a dramatic water view up, down, and across deep Ball Creek to the expanse of the Bay River beyond! A totally-unique, site specific home that creates an exceedingly rare combination for those seeking the impressive...
Imagine a homesite of 1.6+ ACRES w/over 460' OF WATERFRONT highlighting the artistic meanderings of Ball Creek (which offers the potential for deep draft vessels). A concrete pier beckons you to afternoons of fishing & sailing.
Tucked into the woods, the large residence was built with exacting specifications to maximize both privacy and magnificent views. You'll appreciate how it harmonizes & naturalizes so beautifully with its surroundings (& how it offers low maintenance with its vinyl shake siding & metal roof)! It offers a graceful, inviting approach onto a large wraparound deck, leading to a formal entrance that ushers you into a spacious, tiled foyer. A most spectacular great room awaits, w/ a soaring 17' vault which enhances the spaciousness & unity with its setting through the numerous windows. The views of the creek are impressive, making this space a hub of happy activity, equally suited to large parties or cozy family gatherings around the fireplace.
The living area merges with a huge gourmet kitchen (equipped with extensive counters and cabinets) is ready for the creativity of the sociable cook.
To accentuate privacy amidst all the grandeur of space & Nature, the bedroom wing features one bedroom w/waterside deck, and another currently serving as a den. The hallway ends at a master suite w/ bath & deck access. Beyond is a porch designed & screened for a hot tub, with stairs to a storage room +walk-in attic. Another wing is beyond-- A big standalone workshop/loft/office w/full bath! Guest suite? You decide. Zoned geothermal HVAC, 2 wells. A cheerful and comfortable waterfront home which requires a visit to appreciate!
