his stunning home has it all! Room to spread out, creative spaces galore, glorious water views and grounds, and top-of-the line amenities and details. From its lower level living quarters, to its second story au-pair suite, this home says, “Come stay, live, play,” and is situated across from Blackwalnut Creek in a protected forest area.
Upon walking up to the front porch of this beautiful Southern Colonial-style home, you will be impressed with how such a large home is still so welcoming and accommodating. The porch is perfectly suited for rocking and reading in the early morning or evening with a warm beverage or an iced tea depending on the season. Lovers of the outdoors and creek views may also enjoy both from multiple decks on the home, as well as a beautiful balcony off the master suite on the home’s second level.
Main level living is spacious and open while maintaining a sense of warmth and closeness with rich, dark hardwood floors throughout, playing off of the light and bright appointments of the kitchen and main living space. The kitchen is an all-white lover’s dream with farmhouse appeal. A white subway tile backsplash over the room’s professional chef grade gas stove with double oven, a enormous center island dressed with a gleaming black granite countertop, and a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors offering water views are among the room’s highlights. 58
