The front yard welcomes you with an extensive driveway, professional landscaping and mature trees. Upon entry, prepare to be wowed by the sweeping waterfront views, ideally positioned west to capture spectacular sunsets! Featuring a spacious main living area with vaulted ceilings, composite wood flooring, a stone fireplace and skylights that fill the space with natural light. Offering multiple locations to entertain and relax including a large screened porch and rear deck. With a total of 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the open floor plan seamlessly integrates the indoor and outdoor areas, ideal for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the views. The first-floor master bedroom offers water views with direct access to the rear deck and a well-appointed en-suite bathroom. An extensive home addition was added in 2015 that expanded the home with skylights, sun tubes, vaulted ceilings and plenty of windows. This addition added another living room area, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and an office and storage area adjacent to the garage, ideal for a home business or extra space. For the last 18 years, this home has been lovingly maintained by the same owners with environmentally friendly products. The HVAC system has been cleaned annually and Filtrete MPR 1000 Micro Allergen Defense air filters have been used and changed every three months.

The location provides the ideal setting for owls, mourning doves, eagles, blue herons and hawks. The exterior is a gardenerâs dream offering numerous fruit trees and bushes including: three fig trees, two kieffer pear trees, multiple blueberry bushes, three grape vines and wild strains of raspberries and blackberries.
