Nestled on over 4.5 beautifully landscaped acres along the picturesque shores of Dog River, this exceptional waterfront estate offers an unparalleled combination of elegance, comfort, and breathtaking natural beauty. Completely renovated to the studs in 2019, the four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath residence showcases exquisite architectural details throughout, including a stunning curved foyer, graceful, curved staircase, and charming tongue-and-groove walls in the inviting den and additional downstairs bedroom. Nearly every room in the home is designed to capture sweeping views of the river, creating a seamless connection between the interior living spaces and the spectacular waterfront setting. The thoughtfully designed open floor plan features a spacious living room, dining area, and beautifully appointed kitchen, all overlooking the tranquil river. A large scullery contiguous to the laundry provides exceptional storage and prep space, making the home ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a generous sitting room featuring a cozy fireplace and serene water views and a lovely primary bath with separate tub and shower and walk in closets. Also on the main level are an additional bedroom and full bath, along with a beautifully appointed powder room. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a full bath, including an exceptionally large bedroom with panoramic views stretching across Dog River. Outdoor living is equally extraordinary. A spacious covered open porch and elegant terrace provide the perfect setting for relaxing while enjoying the ever-changing waterfront scenery. The impressive wharf features two covered boat slips, an additional open slip, storage space, and an outdoor fireplace, creating an ideal gathering place for family and friends. The meticulously maintained grounds are a private oasis filled with mature landscaping and abundant plantings, including citrus trees. A charming potting shed with an adorable Dutch door offers additional storage and endless character. Additional amenities include a two-car carport, raised planting beds, a dedicated well supplying exterior faucets and the wharf, and a generator for added peace of mind. This remarkable Dog River property is much more than a home—it's an extraordinary waterfront sanctuary designed for living, relaxing, entertaining, and creating a lifetime of unforgettable memories.

R-1
Single-Family Residential Districts
These districts are composed of both developed and largely undeveloped areas. The developed areas contain mainly one-family dwellings and small open areas, usually subdivided, where residential development seems likely to occur; few two-family and multiple-family dwellings are found in these developed areas. It is anticipated that most of the large undeveloped areas will ultimately be developed for residential use. The district regulations are designed to protect the residential character of the developed areas by prohibiting commercial activities and encouraging a suitable neighborhood environment for family life.
