Home features private wrap-around decks with built in hot tub, private gardens and virtually no neighbors. Windows are all dual-pane for sound proofing and energy conservation; tankless hot water heater; central force air heating with programmable thermostat. As the house is on the water, we also have an active permit from the Corps of Engineers to allow maintenance and updates as needed to the decks, dock, piers and gangplank (this is extremely difficult to get, and if you do get one, they cost $5000).

Home will be open to the market after May 1; phone number to call to tour the home will be posted. This is a private sale (not a short sale). We are retiring and moving to a smaller home, and a real estate attorney has been engaged to handle the escrow. (Much better than realtors, as the attorney costs about $1500 to do what a realtor would charge $40K to do. We feel the price we are listig at is fair and didn't think increasing it to cover the cost of real estate agents made sense). Description is deemed accurate but not guaranteed, floor plan not drawn to scale. If interested in seeing larger pics of the floorplans, please send an email.
