Set within a charming waterfront community, this home offers access to a private neighborhood beach just a one minute walk from your door.

The layout is simple and functional, making it ideal as a full time residence or weekend escape. There is also excellent practical storage for an active waterfront lifestyle, including a boat rack outside and basement space for kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, beach gear, and water sports equipment. A sump pump adds peace of mind and functionality to the lower level. Beyond the neighborhood, outdoor recreation continues just minutes away. The American Chestnut Land Trust, about 10 minutes from the home, offers over 30 miles of scenic hiking trails through protected hardwood forest along Parkers Creek, making this a true paradise for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts.
