This beautiful craftsman home sits on a private, 2 acre lot. Without a doubt, one of your favorite things about this property will be the long driveway leading to the home surrounded by woods. Pull around to your double side entry garage, and take a stone walkway up to the expansive covered front porch, where you'll find plenty of room for patio furniture or a porch swing! As soon as you walk in, you will notice the home's high ceilings, deep crown molding, and light, neutral color scheme. Your formal dining room sits immediately to your left and is open to the living room. This kitchen is truly a chef's delight, featuring gorgeous gray granite, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, a fabulous walk-in pantry, breakfast area, and abundant cabinet space. Other custom details of the house plan include built-in office space, a mudroom space at the back door, and a large covered back porch. And not to be forgotten is the primary suite, which showcases a tray ceiling, double vanity sinks with granite, beautiful custom tiled shower, garden tub, and spacious walk-in closet. All of this in River Forest Cove neighborhood, just 10 minutes from the Interstate! Also, the canal runs across the property, and is PERFECT for canoe or kayaking! For boaters, there is boat access at the Alba Club right down the road (with membership requirement). Home is on city sewer and water. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.

PENINSULA
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.
