Property Description
Wake up to the beauty of Broad Creek, where breezes carry across the water and views stretch to Tar and Gideon Creeks. This elevated three-bedroom residence offers the perfect blend of thoughtful design, comfort, and flexibility--inviting you to relax, entertain, and make the most of coastal living. Set high on a raised building pad above the floodplain, the home offers peace of mind, requires no flood insurance, and delivers scenic waterviews. The property spans 1.2 acres total, with an extra lot--ideal for a guest cottage. On the ground level, a paved drive leads to the oversized two-car garage with more than 1,600 square feet of enclosed space. This level also includes a heated studio area and an adjoining storage room--perfect for hobbies. A full-length covered patio extends across the back, offering a shady spot for projects or entertaining. Upstairs, expansive porches--including a 36' x 9' screened porch--invite you to savor the views and breezes. French doors from the living room and all bedrooms provide direct porch access, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A Quadra-Fire wood stove warms the living room on winter nights, hardwood floors add warmth and charm, and the kitchen shines as the home's centerpiece with abundant cabinetry, generous counters, a built-in office nook, and newer appliances--dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator all replaced within the past two years. The primary suite is a private retreat, filled with natural light and spacious enough for a reading or music area, complete with a luxurious ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient laundry room round out the floor plan. Recent updates include a roof replacement (2018), HVAC system (2021), and a premium Kinetico water softener with reverse osmosis. This property combines elevated design, versatile living spaces and waterview beauty- all with the confidence of no flood insurance required.
