How about 3-4 feet MLW depth, your own private pier with a boat lift, a four-season waterside sunroom, living space all on one floor AND a 2-car garage for all your water toys? GREAT….you have found it! There is very little maintenance needed in this updated rancher. The home was raised several feet in 2016 (minimal flood insurance needed) and the following was also replaced: new roof, new vinyl siding, new gutters, and energy efficient leased solar panels (electric average was approx. $70.00 a month last year). Also, the pier has all new deck boards - it looks brand new! The sunroom mini split/HVAC was installed in 2018. The eat-in kitchen is perfect for gatherings, it has a good size dining area, lots of counter space and it overflows into the generous waterside sunroom. A few other FYI's.... there is also a nice brick fireplace in the kitchen that has a pellet stove and there is a 3rd bedroom (currently being used as office) but the Health Dept records (see attached) indicated the house is approved for a 2 bedroom house – Come explore The Land of Pleasant Living….. The Eastern Shore…. on Brooks Creek! Be sure to click on the Virtual Tour Link - easiest viewing is 3D Walkthrough & Floor Plan Link -
