Enjoy peaceful waterfront living in a tranquil neighborhood on an elevated lot with a gentle slope leading to a sandy beach—perfect for relaxing with your feet in the water, fishing or crabbing from the pier, or kayaking and paddle boarding down the river. Start your day with coffee as you watch the sunrise or bird watching with the many species who visit.
In addition, a double lot is available and may be negotiated separately. This property offers potential for development of an in-law or guest house or can be retained to preserve an attractive wooded view.
Amenities include a pier, boat dock, and boat lift—ideal for boating and fishing enthusiasts. The spacious three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home offers almost 1700 sq ft of move-in ready space, with opportunities for further enhancement such as converting the screened porch into expanded living or dining area. Suited perfectly for full-time residence or weekend retreats, the property does not require flood insurance. Annual HOA dues of $100.
Inside, the residence combines comfort and modern style, featuring a 2020 remodel that created a generous kitchen area with stainless steel appliances, gas range and oven, granite countertops, and soft-close cabinetry. The kitchen opens seamlessly into the living room and sunroom, where expansive year-round river views foster an inviting atmosphere for entertaining or relaxation. LVL flooring spans the first floor. The downstairs primary suite includes a walk-in closet and laundry room. Additional upgrades include an expansive trex deck, including hot tub, heat pack installed in 2022, split units added to upstairs bedrooms, installation of new everlast siding in 2000, and a full-house water filtration system introduced in 2020.
Abundant natural light fills the home, enhancing spaces designed for both entertaining and personal enjoyment. Beneath the house, a separate secure enclosed area provides convenient storage or workshop options.
A separate, wired, high-quality shed measuring 12x20 sq ft and less than five years old is found on site and is in excellent condition.
City water and onsite septic tank.
This property enjoys a prime location: five minutes from Cypress Landing’s 18-hole golf community, fifteen minutes from a public boat ramp, ten minutes to downtown Washington, and thirty minutes from Greenville.
Whether seeking a serene weekend getaway or a permanent riverfront residence, this home is prepared to accommodate your aspirations.
