This renovated farm house is all about the views! Located in the charming village of Mathews, 1-1/2 hr. from Richmond, 3 hr. from DC - great local restaurants, marina's and beaches. Overlooking Mobjack Bay, with a southern exposure and stunning sunsets, Twin Coves was built in 1905 and completely transformed by DIY Blog Cabin TV in 2011. DIY lifted and reinforced the house with steel beams, cement board siding and a 100 year roof; including top of the line 3 zone HVAC, whole house generator, superior windows/doors, and a whole house reverse osmosis. The first floor offers spacious living & dining, gas f/p, great kitchen and a 1/2 bath. The second floor has an ensuite primary, with spa bath and custom closet, as well as two other bedrooms, full hall bath, washer/dryer plus a second floor deck with hot tub. The third floor would be a great owners or guest suite; a big bedroom, office, large family room/den & bath. Large screen porch, an outdoor cooking kitchen, swim spa, stone fireplace, firepit, patios, landscaping, outdoor shower & shed. 20'x20' dock/pier has 7500 lb boat lift - worked great with a Carolina Skiff. Sellers are Owner/Agents.
Breathtaking wide open views of the Mobjack Bay. Enjoy boating, fishing, abundant wildlife, and your own private beach. Great opportunity to build dream home, or restore 1900's farmhouse on site. Additional 3.95 lot available. Improvements are negotiable, owner is flexible.
