Perfectly positioned atop a professionally terraced and landscaped hillside with unsurpassed, panoramic views of Beards Creek and across the South River, this timeless Tudor style home built in 1933 effortlessly blends timeless architecture with high-end modern upgrades, and from this elevated vantage point nearly every window frames the serene, panoramic vistas below. As you step inside the home, you’ll immediately be drawn to the intricate details of the original architecture, perfectly complemented by contemporary updates. Stained glass windows cast colorful light across the rooms, wood beams grace the ceilings, and arched doorways, vintage solid wood doors and trim adapted from a church nearby, and durable slate roof all tell a story. The remodeled kitchen is outfitted with sleek, top of the line appliances, rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops and a large center island—both a practical workspace and natural gathering space for friends and family. A cozy gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. The living area is a blend of openness and warmth, designed to take full advantage of its stunning waterfront setting with vaulted, wood-paneled ceilings soar above, accentuated by exposed beams that add a sense of rustic elegance and architectural depth. Multiple cottage style windows with stained glass windows across the top seamlessly connect the indoors to the expansive deck outside that stretches across the entire front of the home. Just off the living area is a dining room and inviting space with a pellet stove with a beautifully carved wood surround. The bedroom wing on this main level features two bedrooms and two full baths with showers, along with a laundry room. Venturing to the upper level, an open two story ceiling and skylights provide an open and bright space, with a quiet workspace or peaceful nook offering views of the ever changing waterfront scenery beyond. The luxurious owner’s suite completes the upper level, offering a private retreat with comfort and style. At the center of the suite is wood burning fireplace with wood mantel surround and french doors that open into the private balcony with sweeping views. The suite also includes an incredible en-suite bath designed with both elegance and function in mind. A large walk-in shower with custom tile work and glass enclosure creates a spa-like experience, while thoughtfully designed fixtures and finishes add a touch of sophistication. A large shed complete with electric front porch sits at the top of the hill. The waterfront showcases a professionally installed living shoreline, completed in partnership with AA County, designed to reduce erosion, preserving rare sandy beach and enhancing coastal habitats. There are two piers, both with lifts, electric, and bubbler systems, and a rare, irreplaceable gem, a vintage cottage that sits directly at water’s edge, complete with front porch and swing. The South River Heights community is a Special Community Benefit District, and community offers a pier with slips for lease, pavilion, kayak launch and storage, and fire pit!
