Beautiful Brazilian cherry hardwood and warm tones set the vibe with double doors connecting the house seamlessly to the outdoors. The eat-in kitchen features antique white cabinets, granite countertops and there is also dining room for formal dining or flex space. All the bedrooms are generous sized, with four bedrooms on the upper floor, including the master bedroom which has a private balcony deck and en-suite bath with double sinks. Downstairs offers more fun with a large family room with wet bar that connects to the outdoor lower-level deck. The 5th bedroom, with full bath on this level, would be a great guest or MIL space. The large dock really brings the enjoyment with everything you need including a covered boat lift with hoist, a second dock, and a shed for storing your boating items.
