Property Description
" Almost Heaven, West Virginia If you love nature, you'll love coming home to this secluded and unique yet comfortable 1.5 acre retreat nestled in the trees overlooking (and descending to) the peaceful Potomac River. The upper 1.1 acres includes the home, w/ its gracious main-level living areas, (all w/ ceiling fans). Start with the cook's dream custom kitchen w/ island, smart-capable gas range, and open concept dining area, (suitable for casual or formal dining), opening to a tree-top deck where you can conveniently grill. Continue to the great-room w/ its modern tiled gas fireplace and a bowed wall of floor-to-vaulted ceiling windows, providing a breath-taking view of tree-tops, the Potomac River, and the Maryland rise beyond. The main floor also includes a master suite (bedroom/bathroom/closet) w/ its own private deck, as well as two additional bedrooms (the smaller one w/ built-ins - perfect for an office), as well as a hall bath, double coat closet, and a convenient front-hall laundry. At the front entrance you can also choose to go down to the lower level, which includes the perfect place for an auxiliary fridge for those great deck parties you can have if you walk thru the door straight ahead and into the spacious blank canvas lower living area, w/ access to the generous new-board deck that spans the entire length of the main portion of the house and overlooks the Potomac/Maryland view. Through another door is a traditional basement (w/ toilet and utility sink), an add'l smaller room w/ windowed door to the main deck (another perfect office or crafting space), and a pet tunnel w/ a doggy door to the enclosed side yard and its own small deck. And finally thru a third door is the insulated garage, where the home's utilities are located (air handler w/ UV system, well tank, hot water tank, water softener, electrical circuit panel). Back outside, just around the corner from the garage is the Generac whole-house generator and heat pump (both less than 5 years old), and across the driveway a shed for your lawn/gardening supplies. Leaf-Filtered gutters and premium roof shingles add additional maintenance- saving benefits. The river is just a short walk (or drive) down the lane, where you can enjoy your .52 acre riverside lot w/ its (secured) picnic table. Relax, fish, float, or build your own pavilion or floating dock (w/ the 10 large plastic floats that also come with the property). Continue a few more yards down the lane to the community boat ramp, and onward for a leisurely stroll on the winding path through the peaceful rivers edge woods. This was the dream home of its only other two owners, and now it can be. Your dream home too, with your neighborsthe deer, the squirrels, and the birds-ready to welcome you.
