This special home was beautifully renovated and enlarged while maintaining the character and details of the original home. It was raised and a full foundation was added prior to the new additions. The property has just under three acres of level land including approximately two acres, with a rebuilt two bay garage, across the street. The one acre on the water includes 188 feet waterfront with a rebuilt two bay boathouse plus an expansive dock. The waterfront is pristine, sandy and perfect for swimming. A circular drive provides easy access along the 276 feet road frontage. As you enter the original home you will be drawn to the impressive views from the spacious living room with wood burning fireplace. A private main level bedroom with new bath and laundry is just steps away. A formal dining room has a gas fireplace, tasteful built-ins and views. The second level in the original home has three bedrooms including an en-suite bedroom. The kitchen has been enlarged with a breakfast area, walk-in pantry, laundry and half bath all with easy access to the outside and a beautiful new patio. A newly constructed Primary Suite with fireplace, walk-in closet and spa-type bath also accesses the patio. The yard has a huge expanse of lawn, perfect for many outdoor activities. The new attached drive-through garage is finished with a one-bedroom suite above including bath, breakfast bar and large sitting room. The final touches to the new construction have just been completed.
