Tucked into a small, quiet community on 1.42 acres of native gardens, this light-filled home offers the rare combination of serene retreat and everyday convenience. With just a short walk to the water, you'll find community beach access, piers on both the South River and Beards Creek, boat slips, and racks for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. The move-in ready interior features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an open floor plan with high ceilings designed for both easy living and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen flows into a bright living area anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A main floor office overlooks the gardens - where you're sure to hear bald eagles and osprey through the mature tree canopy. The primary suite offers vaulted ceilings and a perfect reading nook, while bedroom-level laundry with upgraded washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. Outside, a spacious rear deck and screened-in lower porch extend your living space into the peaceful surroundings. With walkable access to nearby shopping, major commuting routes just minutes away, and a playground and community piers steps from your door - this property doesn't ask you to choose between privacy and connection. It gives you both.
