A TRUE GEM tucked away in a water-privileged community along the beautiful Port Tobacco River! From the moment you arrive, it is evident this special Colonial has been lovingly cared for by its original owners, with pride of ownership reflected in every space, both inside and out. Offering an exceptional combination of traditional charm, spacious living areas, water access, and incredible versatility, this is a home that truly stands apart. Enjoy access to a shared pier and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water, whether you’re relaxing riverside, launching a kayak, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the main residence offers four bedrooms with two full baths upstairs, and a tremendous bonus room with a private staircase leading conveniently to the main-level laundry area. The first floor provides the ease of first-level living with a beautiful owner’s suite featuring a gas fireplace, signature bath complete with a luxurious soaking tub. The heart of the home is the renovated kitchen, featuring 42-inch custom cabinetry and upgraded countertops, flowing into a welcoming family room adorned with gorgeous moldings, custom built-ins, and a cozy fireplace. Separate formal living and dining rooms provide wonderful spaces for entertaining and gatherings.

Just steps from the sunroom, a stunning oversized slate patio, artful landscaping and a tranquil koi pond create an inviting outdoor oasis.
