In the serene community of Cabin Creek sits a lovely home created just for water lovers. With cozy rooms and expansive water views it's ''just right'' for an easy-to-keep full time dwelling or part time getaway cottage. Enter the home via an elevated first floor covered porch that wraps around to offer a view of the natural coastline. The foyer is also elevated, so, as you walk in, the expansive L-shaped living room and the dining room open up to reveal the full width covered and screened water-side porch through generously sized sliding glass doors. Notice the lift on that porch that makes access with groceries and other bundles a breeze. Keep looking toward the creek and there sits a concrete pier and power boat lift where your boat may reside safely when not in use. Directing attention back to first floor interior, find the master suite with oak floors and an abundance of natural light. The master also offers easy access to the rear porch through double glass doors. Tucked away near the foyer are the spacious laundry room and a delightful powder room. Last on this floor find the well equipped and organized kitchen for the chef of the household. Here you will see the granite counter tops and a breakfast bar that will make entertaining so easy. Back to foyer will lead to stairs to second floor with two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom with tub/shower combination. Access to storage and mechanical room is directly off of landing at top of stairs. Need additional storage? Check out the ground floor enclosed storage/ workshop. A whole house water conditioner and a drive-in space for a riding lawn tractor are included in this convenient space. One last ''must have'' is the Kohler generator that will provide electricity to the entire home in the case of loss of power. Enjoy the 2.63 acres and breathtaking approach to the home with crepe myrtle trees lining the sides of the long dramatic drive way. Coastal living at its best...
