Tucked away on a knoll overlooking Taylors Creek, this Craftsman design embraces the importance of nature and the value of simplicity, utility, and beauty. Fully renovated in 2012, this home exudes romance with a casual yet sophisticated character. A welcoming pergola with a bluestone walk leads to the entrance. Enter the sun-lit great room with a waterfront wall of windows, stacked stone fireplace, and vaulted, beamed ceiling that create a warm, intimate ambiance. With a large granite-topped island and bar, the kitchen is ideal for entertaining. The dining area and kitchen expand the cleverly designed space to a handsome porch and terrace overlooking the creek. Also, the delightful primary bedroom with a stunning bath opens to the porch, providing a dreamy private retreat. A quiet corner accommodates the first-floor guest room. A stairway leads to the cozy loft that offers a third bedroom/office. Mature trees frame the private, park-like yard, which includes a gravel terrace with a firepit. The well-equipped dock consists of a deck on the shoreline, a boat lift, and a fish-cleaning station. In addition, there is a charming garden house. The nearby towns of Irvington, Kilmarnock, and White Stone have excellent restaurants, farmers' markets, art galleries, museums, boutique shops, marinas, and boatyards.
