Come take a look at this 4,660 sq. ft., 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath all brick rancher situated on 8.8 acres on the Manokin River (Taylor Branch). As one enters the front foyer, there is a formal dining area to the left with a magnificent 1700’s French Bronze chandelier, and on the right, a formal living room with a brick fireplace and custom built-in cabinets. Both rooms have beautiful chair and crown moldings and Parquet, hardwood flooring. If entering the home from the attached carport, one enters a utility area with wooden beams, tiled floors, a wet bar with wine storage, and a built-in gun cabinet.
The kitchen is ready for chefs that love to cook and entertain. There is a gourmet, commercial, 6 burner gas stove/oven with a custom stainless-steel hood. Other amenities include newer stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and sink, a fully tiled backsplash, tiled floors and a pantry with slide out drawers. Off the kitchen is the cozy family room with a brick fireplace and built-in cabinets that leads to a large all-glass porch with slate floors, craftsmanship-quality wooden ceilings/beams, a propane fireplace, and of course…..beautiful views of the river and all of the river’s abundant wildlife, such as eagles, heron, osprey, geese, and ducks.
There are 4 bedrooms, two of which are master suites. One master has a sunken tub, a tiled, walk-in shower, heated tile flooring, walk-in cedar closet, a workout area, a balcony overlooking the river, and its own fully dedicated mini-split HVAC system.
