NEW WATERFRONT COTTAGE

Seller’s dream is now your dream. Unexpected events call owner back to her home state and she offers you a cream-puff cottage on a tidal creek in a quiet section of North City. Completed in October 2014, it’s better than new thanks to the final touches added and it’s hard to find a more welcoming home for sale in town.

A deep covered porch in front provides a comfortable perch to visit with the neighbors as they walk their dogs or breeze past on their bikes heading to the coffee/wine bar. Come inside and views of the creek and tree-lined backdrop greet you in the foyer.

A few more steps and you’re in the generous kitchen. Complemented by the creamy tumbled travertine floor, it’s clad in white cabinets, light granite and stainless steel. Cook up a storm here while friends consult from across the breakfast bar. A lovely butler’s pantry on the opposite wall provides additional storage within easy reach.

The open plan makes conversation easy and lively and friends can spill out to front and back porches when the gathering is large. Plantation shutters throughout diffuse the sunlight and keep the house naturally illuminated. Dining is central with the living area at the back but it’s versatile so make it work for your own style.

En-suite, the master overlooks the creek and enjoys a super bathroom. Two guest rooms with hall bath are just off the kitchen providing privacy for all.

Step onto the back porch and feel your stress melt away. Water birds in flight, the occasional fish popping out of the water to see what’s happening, sunrise coming over the treetops – be sure to pack the kayak, binoculars and bird book. Set up your own hammock and grab a nap on the banks of the creek or catch up on your reading. Think coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evening on the back porch and al fresco dining most anytime.

A single garage has room for your car and a lot more and the large laundry room provides more storage as well.

A favorite neighborhood, a scrumptious house!
