Waterfront Oasis on Love Creek – 3.3 Acres of Serenity and Adventure Welcome to your dream retreat nestled along the tranquil waters of Love Creek. This picturesque 3.3-acre waterfront property offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and year-round recreation. With direct access to deep water and a private dock equipped with water and electric, it’s an ideal launch point for fishing, boating, and fun on the water. This spacious Cape Cod-style home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and room to grow. The first-floor owner’s suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath. Step out to the screened-in porch with hot tub—your private escape for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The main floor also offers a versatile office with a closet, easily converted into a fifth bedroom. The welcoming family room boasts cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and sliding doors that open to a bright sunroom overlooking the backyard. The country kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous island, wet bar, and a walk-in pantry. Adjacent is a formal dining room perfect for hosting holidays and special occasions, along with a convenient half bath and spacious laundry room with utility sink and space for a freezer. Upstairs, an open foyer leads to three generously sized bedrooms—two with walk-in closets—a beautifully updated bath with luxury vinyl flooring, and a large TV and game room with walk-out storage. The home also features a two-and-a-half car garage and a beautifully landscaped yard designed for low maintenance and high enjoyment. Whether you're docking your boat, relaxing in the hot tub, or entertaining guests, this home offers everything you need to live the waterfront lifestyle. Bring your boat and your sense of adventure—this is year-round fun at its finest!
