Splendid, waterfront home offers it all ~ location, location, location; one level living; plus an interior that rivals a top resort! Whether you like to enjoy time alone, or entertain on a grand scale, this home is it. The site: 2.7 AC with privacy from the neighboring homes & an unparalleled, wide view across the Little Wicomico River. (No HOA). The eastern facing view is to an undevelopable peninsula on the opposite shore which won~t change from future building. Whether you like to fish, boat, ski, or paddle you have it all here. The protected waters of the river offer miles to explore by kayak or paddleboard ~the channel cut out to the Bay is a straight shot from the dock (with lifts) to the best fishing grounds in the area, plus a sand beach accessible only by water. Smith Point Marina is nearby for easy access. The property contains a small tidal pond where herons hunt for food & native plants flourish, and offers a total living, no-maintenance, natural shoreline. The front yard is wide & flat -perfect for croquet, volleyball & other activities. A bocce court is set off the rear deck for more outdoor fun. Landscaping is minimal for easy care, with plenty of expansion room for an avid gardener. Now, to the impeccable, well-maintained house! Renovated just several years ago, the gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece -a gas Viking range with an upper warming shelf & commercial grade vent hood is the envy of the Northern Neck! High end appliances grace the work area. A huge center island of weather-finished granite boasts an additional prep sink. The deep SS farm sink is located under double windows overlooking the incredible view. There is ample room between the prep & seating areas, since everyone is always in the kitchen! Two walk-in pantries offer incredible storage. All the delightful food whipped up here can be served in the expansive dining area (which will easily fit a 10 ft table) looking out over the river, or in the huge screened porch which also fits a table for 10. The entire back of the house is spanned by decks and the porch. All are in cool, afternoon shade for summer enjoyment. Entering the front door, the foyer looks out to the river. On both sides of the foyer are spacious rooms that offer total flexibility of use ~ formal dining or living room; media room, library, home office ~ whatever you imagine. The great room is very versatile by its shape & size; with a ~ bath located behind the room at the entrance to the garage. An auxiliary heater runs from the on-call generator in case of power outages. The house is cleverly separated with the spacious L shaped great room sited at the opposite end of the house from the bedroom wing. This entire wing can be closed off to provide even more quiet & privacy. The bedroom wing contains the spa-like master suite. Open & airy, with its own little outdoor deck, you~ll wake up to sunrise views in the morning. The fabulous attached bath offers a soaking tub with a picture window view out to the water; pedestal sinks; & a separate shower/toilet room. Two large walk-in closets complete the space. The two additional bedrooms, each the size of a traditional master, can accommodate a King or Queen bed, or multiple twins. The shared hall bath allows flexible use with a full tub & double sinks, attached to a WC with a standing shower. A large linen closet provides lots of storage space for extra towels & bedding. A spacious, separate laundry room with front load machines & additional storage makes laundry a snap! An oversized 2-car garage with an extra frige, cabinets, & work sink complete the story. A Generac generator insures continuous power in case of outage (situated off the garage for easy access & quiet). Reverse osmosis water treatment, encapsulated crawlspace & other upgrades add to the value. Furniture & furnishings are negotiable, if desired. All in all - the complete package for Rivah Life!
