Lovely custom home built by Neal Friedenstein, well known for his superior craftsmanship with structural integrity, set on a serene 3+ acre lot on Indian Creek. Entering the home you are immediately drawn to the intimate water views through the tall Anderson windows. Enjoy the abundant birdlife, including Chuck-will’s-widows, cedar waxwings that stop by each year to strip the mahonia bushes. Resident herons fly by each day, soaring eagles dive for fish and our local family of otters can often be spotted. Relax in the enclosed sunroom, eat out on the substantial deck, just 50 feet from the water or sit on the expansive dock with a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. Kayaking on the creek is easily accessible from the garden and there is so much to explore. With direct access to Chesapeake Bay, you can launch your boat from the 8,000 lb boat lift and meander towards the bay, where you can fish or watch dolphins, pull your boat up to the shores of the local beaches and step right onto the sand for some sunbathing or a swim. Just minutes down the road is the Indian Creek Golf club and Kilmarnock is also a convenient, 3 mile drive to shopping, dining and other amenities. The home features a huge, first floor master suite with cathedral ceiling, water views, dressing area, huge walk in-closet & large bathroom w/ jacuzzi bath & separate shower. Cafe style plantation shutters provide privacy but do not block the natural beauty outside. Just feet from the master bedroom is a home office or 4th bedroom for occasional extra guests w/ built-in custom shelving & a large workspace. Opposite the office is a separate laundry w/ a half bath situated next to it. The formal dining room w/ an elegant arch window looking onto the garden can host large family celebrations with a convenient serving area or coffee bar nearby that leads to a custom kitchen with stone countertops and a large pantry. Off the kitchen is a large mudroom with doors to the outside and the garage that houses an extra sink, dishwasher, freezer and wine cooler and 2 large closets. The 2 car garage is extra wide and tall and located right off the mudroom. The great room is open with a cozy, gas fireplace that warms the whole area. There is also a wet bar with a sink & filtered water faucet. In all, the main level alone of this delightful home spans approximately 2,300 square feet. Upstairs are two sizeable extra bedrooms, both with corner windows, views to the river; a full bathroom and a very useful hobby or sewing room. The home benefits from plenty of storage spaces. A reverse osmosis system provides fresh drinking water, and a 16KW automatic generator. The dock features 3’ +/- MLW on Indian Creek.
