South River Waterfront! Discover an exceptional waterfront lifestyle in Port Isle, where beautiful water views, a private pier, and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces come together in a setting made for boating, entertaining, and relaxed everyday living. A cart path through the backyard leads to the private pier, complete with low-maintenance composite decking, a 24,000-lb. boat lift, and floating dock offering effortless access for kayaks and paddleboards. A long driveway creates a sense of arrival and leads to the two-car garage. Inside, the light-filled foyer with vaulted ceiling opens to a comfortable living area before flowing into the heart of the home. The expansive kitchen is designed for gathering, with two generous islands, abundant cabinetry, and extensive counter space providing exceptional room for cooking and entertaining. An adjoining dining area connects seamlessly to the family room, where a fireplace anchors the space and doors open to the waterfront deck. Here, elevated views across the backyard toward the South River create a natural extension of the living space and an inviting backdrop for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and water views. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with a private waterfront balcony and ensuite bath featuring dual sinks and a spacious walk-in shower with bench. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath with dual sinks. A conveniently located laundry room completes this level. The walk-out lower level expands the home's versatility with a spacious recreation room, fourth bedroom, full bath, and generous storage. The living area opens to an extensive screened porch overlooking the backyard and water, creating another exceptional space for entertaining and relaxing. Seasonal coverings allow the porch to be enjoyed well into the cooler months. With multiple outdoor living spaces, a private pier, boat lift, kayak launch, and direct access to the South River, every element invites you to embrace life on the water. A golf cart conveys with the property, making it easy to travel through the neighborhood and down to the water's edge. Whether heading out for a day of boating, launching a kayak, entertaining on the deck, or relaxing on the private balcony, this Port Isle waterfront retreat captures the ease and beauty of the waterfront lifestyle. Welcome Home!
