Description
A Home for All Seasons
Amazing 2.35 acres of parklike grounds has 360ft of sheltered waterfront, plus easy access from the tranquil lagoon to the more active waters of Quartermaster Harbor. Like owning your own Golden Pond, with the changing colors of the seasons accenting your serene view. Plus, safe waters to moor your boat!
The home was designed by an architect for himself, so no detailing was spared. Illuminated by rich natural light, with a ceiling of skylights in the center of the home, it also uses natural wood accents and rich hardwood flooring to give a peaceful emphasis to the interior. Plenty of windows take full advantage of the views of the private acreage and wildlife rich waterfront. You can watch the geese, eagles, blue heron or the local rowers on the quiet waters.
The fully equipped kitchen will please any chef; and there is space for family and friends to gather while you cook. Open design living/dining area makes an easy flow for entertaining. Spacious master bedroom has a soaking tub, plus tiled shower, and there's a spacious walk-in closet. Downstairs, there is a sauna for you to relax in. The guest bedroom is welcoming, and the third room doubles as a home office. Downstairs is a spacious bonus room, currently used as the architect's office; a third bathroom, with the laundry, a spacious storage area plus access to the roomy 3stall garage plus workshop. The home is also prewired for a generator.
The grounds include a fishing shack/boathouse, plenty of parking for guests plus RV space, and gently rolling pastoral grounds sloping down to the waterfront. Garden space, orchard and plans for a coachhouse/garage; it's all here.
All this, close to town, the Golf & Country Club, and schools. Simply spectacular. A Home for All Seasons.
