Property Description
***SELLER WILL ENTERTAIN OFFERS BETWEEN THE HIGHER AND LOWER PVRM RANGES OF $869,000-$999,000.*** Live the Ultimate Waterfront Dream on Dog River! Step into a world of pure waterfront bliss with breathtaking, wide-open water views that stretch as far as the eye can see! This exceptional 1.8 acre property offers the perfect blend of adventure and serenity, with its charming boathouse inviting you to dive into endless river fun or simply relax by the water’s edge. Whether you are kayaking, boating, or soaking in the view from your private sandy beach, this property gives you a front-row seat to everything that makes waterfront living unforgettable. As you enter through the private gated entrance, the winding paved road lined with vibrant camellias and azaleas sets the tone for what’s to come: a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom masterpiece that spans 3,692 square feet of luxury living, steeped in natural beauty. Inside, you’ll find a completely remodeled kitchen that will make any chef swoon, featuring pristine white quartz countertops, a nugget ice machine, and custom cabinetry. The centerpiece is a spacious island perfect for cooking and gathering with loved ones. Refinished pegged oak flooring adds timeless warmth, beautifully complemented by the rich redwood walls and soaring ceilings, giving the entire home an inviting yet sophisticated feel. The upstairs primary suite is your personal sanctuary, offering spectacular river views that will make every morning feel like a getaway. With plush new carpet, fresh paint, updated lighting, and a newly renovated bathroom featuring marble countertops, a walk-in shower, and custom closet, this space exudes elegance and comfort. Family and guests will find their own retreat in the cozy guest bedroom with an en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated Jack-and-Jill bathroom—ensuring everyone has space and privacy. But the real magic awaits outside. Just steps away, your private sandy beach beckons, perfect for lazy days in the sun or watching the boats drift by. When adventure calls, your dock and 2-story boathouse provide everything you need for fun on the water, complete with a playroom for the kids, a half bath, and a sun deck where you can sip your drink and watch the river life roll by. As the day fades, the western facing sunroom becomes the perfect spot to unwind, offering panoramic views of the river as the sky blazes with the colors of sunset. It is the kind of peaceful, picture-perfect scene that makes you forget all the stresses of the day. Practicality meets luxury with features like a pull-through carport, a detached double carport, a new 50-year metal roof, fresh exterior paint, brand new appliances, a tankless water heater, and a fully encapsulated crawl space. There is even a 25' x 15' storage building with power, offering plenty of space for all your needs. This is more than just a home—it is a riverfront retreat where luxury, nature, and durability come together. Don’t miss your chance to make this Dog River dream home your own and start living the waterfront lifestyle you’ve always imagined!
