Nestled in a small enclave of homes surrounded by water, this custom home offers a wonderful sense of community while still providing plenty of room to spread out across 1.3 acres. With water peeking through the landscape, you always know you're surrounded by the spirit of the water. Thoughtfully designed, the home welcomes you with hardwood floors, an open floor plan, and a spacious great room featuring built-in bookshelves and a gas-log fireplace. The dining area flows naturally into the kitchen, where there's plenty of room for the cook to stay part of the conversation and enough space for helping hands. The screened porch is a favorite spot and can be accessed from three points: the living area, dining area, and primary bedroom, making indoor-outdoor living second nature. The primary suite offers an en-suite bath with a walk-in tile shower, radiant-heated floors, and a double vanity. Upstairs, a landing creates a cozy corner for reading a book, along with two additional bedrooms, a hall bath, and a Bonus room that could serve as a home office, media room, or quiet retreat away from the main living areas. Outside, the breezeway carport includes a separate heated and cooled workroom with a mini-split system, ideal for a workshop, crafts, or extra storage. Low-maintenance cedar-shake-style vinyl siding gives the home an easy-care appeal. You'll be just minutes from Kilmarnock's shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, yet the setting feels wonderfully removed from it all; a peaceful place to settle in and enjoy the best of life by the water.
