A Hidden Jewel on North Creek! This delightful waterfront cottage with a two-car garage sits on over an acre, featuring a pier and a screened porch overlooking peaceful North Creek. As part of a vibrant waterfront community, you'll enjoy access to a boat slip, ramp, fish cleaning station, pickle ball court, and picnic area at the marina. Perfect for fishermen, boaters, bird watchers, and kayakers, this home offers an ideal waterfront lifestyle. The layout includes a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and a second bedroom next to the hall bath. However, the septic system is already permitted for three bedrooms! Originally designed for three, first home owner opted for larger rooms, a spacious laundry/mudroom, and a pantry. Need a third bedroom? It's an easy addition—just ask! Step inside to an open floor plan with beautiful wood floors throughout. The family room features French doors leading to the screened porch, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A charming bay window in the dining room enhances the space, while the kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area. A wood-topped bar invites guests to pull up a stool and join the conversation. Handcrafted wooden countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms enhance the home's cozy, nautical feel. A 260 sq. ft. studio, built in 2023, sits just steps across the deck, offering endless possibilities—guest suite, art studio, workshop, or private retreat. Sunlight dances on the water, filling this space with natural light and tranquility. The studio includes a mini-split HVAC system, a sink, and its own breaker panel. Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened porch with breathtaking sunrises. Local waters are teeming with drum, flounder, speckled trout, and striper. On lucky days, dolphins may play alongside your boat! Bird watchers will love spotting bald eagles, ospreys, and mourning doves—request the full list of 30+ species recorded by the owners.
