| Rare opportunity to own this charming coastal home ideally located in a private enclave of eight homes in The Ridings on Melvin Point! Nestled amongst the trees, the lot measures just under an acre with direct access to a wooded pathway leading to a private, community waterfront area on Little Aberdeen Creek off the South River. Renovated throughout and expanded with a two-story addition in 2010, upon entry you’ll find wide plank, gray wash wood flooring, custom columns, trim and millwork, and an open concept floor plan which maximizes space and provides an excellent flow through the home. The solarium features floor to ceiling windows with scenic views of the landscape, along with a gas wood stove with whitewash hearth and surround. The kitchen, as the heart and functional center of the home, boasts quartz countertops, an island with vegetable prep sink and adjoining circular table and additional island with built-in gas range, and combines with the family room and solarium into a space that’s perfect for relaxed, intimate entertaining or large gatherings. A bright and airy family room presents an additional gas freestanding stove, along with built-in media center and panoramic views of the backyard landscape and woods beyond. There’s also a remodeled half bath, a mudroom just off the garage with locker style hangers and bench storage, and a versatile and unique room with shiplap accent walls currently used a laundry area with washer and dryer but could be easily converted to a study/office. The upper level features an enormous owner’s retreat boasting hardwood flooring, a sitting area with loads of abundant light offered offered by multiple cottage style windows, and an en-suite bath with marble flooring, tile and vanity top, and frameless shower door. The owner’s suite closet is as awe-inspiring as the rest of the home, with walls of cabinets and drawers, bench, and center island with quartz counter, making it a distinct style statement mimicking the layout of a small, yet chic boutique, along with a conveniently located additional washer and dryer. Two additional, spacious bedrooms with new wood flooring and both complete with two closets, along with a remodeled hall bath with farm door entry, frameless shower doors, niche and rain showerhead complete the upper level. There’s also a third level featuring a fourth bedroom with en-suite full bath and walk-in closet, ideal for overnight guests, and an additional fifth bedroom, with large sitting area and two large closets. A full, unfinished basement with high ceilings awaits the new owner’s finishing touches. Beyond this stunning interior, and furthering the enhanced lifestyle to the exterior of the home, is a composite deck across the back of the home, complete with a pergola and porch swing, meticulously maintained and beautifully designed landscaping, underground sprinklers, and scenic views of the surrounding trees. |
