This charming home sits by an old mill stream! Part of the mill is still there, and the water spilling from the near-by lake makes a thunderous noise for you, family, and friends to behold and enjoy. Built in 1998 and lived in by the original owner, this is its first time on the market. On the main floor are the great room, kitchen, and dining area with the lovely screened porch across the back and side of the home. The master bedroom has an ensuite bath and a lovely bay window large enough in which to sit and read or look out into the beauty of the surroundings. One guest room and additional bath are also on the main floor. Wood floors are throughout the house. Upstairs is another bedroom and ensuite bath with a lovely study which the current owner uses as another sleeping area. Off the bedroom is a small nook that could be an office or a quiet place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee. On this little road called Randall Road are two other homes and then the road ends. The 3 homes share the adjoining 2.9 acres of land. The owners of the three homes call themselves the Buck Creek Canoe Club. While there is no formal home owners association, the 3 homes take care of the roadway connecting them and collect funds as needed for any repairs or improvements to the road or any maintenance needed on the shared property.
