Water views greet you at the front door! The foyer opens to a study, formal dining room, and fabulous great room with cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light. A wall of windows affords incredible water views from all the main living areas! A sunny breakfast area opens to a well designed kitchen with ample work and storage spaces. The master bedroom suite is on the first floor, and an open loft, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and an office or hobby room are upstairs. The finished room over the garage is accessible via both the main stair and a private rear stair case leading to the downstairs laundry room. Gracious porches on both the front and rear of the house beg rest and relaxation and front row seats for watching unparalleled sunsets over the river. Established landscaping and a sprinkler system are in place. Built in 1999 and maintained with incredible attention to detail, this fine home is TRULY move-in ready. Recent updates include a new roof (2022), new HVAC (2021), new water heater and softener ('20). Additional updates include driveway, gutter and leaf filters, and a new firepit. This house is located at the end of the street, and an additional lot adjacent conveys at no value - an added measure of privacy. Cove Grove Estates is an attractive, established waterfront community nestled on the shores of the Perquimans River, near the quaint town of Hertford, NC. Enjoy convenient access to HWY 17, approximately 20 minutes to nearby Historic Edenton, Elizabeth City and easily accessible to Tidewater, VA. No flood insurance required!
