Conveniently located between Rocky Mount & Westlake, with wide views of the 4H Peninsula, this unique 3-level home was designed by Ralph Palmisano in 2000. Its classic Mediterranean lines are perfectly adapted to the hillside point lot & puts you close enough to the water to be startled by the sound of fish jumping or to see the shad & bluegills swarming as you lounge on one of its 4 decks. Shoreline features natural stone that abuts a man-made stone seawall constructed some 50 years ago by the original owners shortly after the lake was formed. Current owners purchased the property in 1993 & contracted Ben Perdue to build the boathouse, which was completed in 1996. Streetside, the house is located on a cul-de-sac in a small, close-knit community that has at least one neighborhood "Pig Pickin" every year & its 2 roads are county maintained, including plowing in winter. There is a concrete driveway leading to the attached 2-car garage & you don't have to be a marathon athlete to walk to the end to get the mail. Lower level studio with separate entrance. Pictures say a lot, but don't show the 2 x 6 exterior framing, the Andersen casement windows, & sliding doors throughout the house or the solid core interior doors. Additionally, there is a propane furnace backup to the recently installed Carrier heat pump, so you are warm & cozy on the coldest winter nights when a heat pump can't keep up. There is a partial-house Honda generator for those electrical outages that are bound to happen & central vac through the entire (approximately) 2,400 square feet of living space. Subdivision does have HOA that maintains boat ramp & provides water to each house. Fees in 2023 were $200 per home. House sells with furnishings listed - See list in Docs.
