Two acres of beautiful waterfront property, excellent water depth, a private dock with boat lift, and a thoughtfully updated interior make this exceptional Merriman Cove home a standout on Smith Mountain Lake. This all-brick, single-level ranch offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and convenient lakefront living. Even when lake levels are low, the private dock maintains great water depth, making boating and enjoying the lake more convenient throughout the year. A gently sloping lawn with just a few steps leads to the shoreline, while the private dock features a boat lift and dedicated storage room/cabana. The spacious lakeside deck provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing and taking in the beautiful water views. Inside, this thoughtfully updated three-bedroom, two-bath home features an inviting open-concept floor plan connecting the kitchen, dining area, and great room, all designed to capture beautiful lake views. The kitchen is a standout, featuring an oversized waterfall island with deep blue cabinetry and seating for five, white Shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, stand alone icemaker and a spacious walk-in pantry. The great room showcases a beautiful wood-paneled cathedral ceiling and a classic brick fireplace, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Glass doors open directly onto the lakeside deck, while the vaulted sunroom, surrounded by windows on three sides, offers another wonderful space to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery. The spacious primary suite offers beautiful lake views and direct access to the outdoor deck. A walk-in closet with built-in drawers and shelving provides excellent storage. The beautifully appointed primary bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub positioned to enjoy the lake view, a fully enclosed glass shower with rainfall showerhead, elegant marble-look tile surrounding the shower walls, and a double-sink vanity with an illuminated mirror. Heated floors add an extra level of comfort, and the bathroom is pre-wired for an electronic bidet. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. A dedicated laundry room completes the convenient single-level floor plan. Additional features include an attached two-car garage and a comprehensive whole-house water treatment system featuring a water softener, UV light purification, carbon filtration, and a separate 5-micron pre-filter. Enjoy the convenience of being close to the shopping, dining, and everyday amenities of the Smith Mountain Lake area. Food Lion in Moneta and Kroger in the Westlake shopping area are both nearby, along with a variety of popular local restaurants, including Drifter's, Vinny's Italian Grill & Pizzeria, Edo Grill & Sushi, Joe's Italian, La Casa Toscana, and Napoli by the Lake.
