You'll appreciate the definite but subdued Craftsman elements, best expressed in the delightful cabinetry/woodwork. The master suite is a real retreat - a large sunny space overlooking the water with dual access to the immense master bath (separate shower and effervescing bath) and private entry from the deck. The large Carolina room is a perfectly relaxing spot from which to watch the creek- it is accessed from both the kitchen/breakfast & living room. A fantastic surprise awaits above the spacious 2-car garage. .. . A large private suite with a micro-kitchenette and a full bath!! This room would be suitable for a variety of uses.
