With 485 feet of water frontage, and a lush green yard this property is perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. Walking through the front garden with mature plantings, patios, and arches is like entering another world. Fully refreshed in 2012 this home is move in ready. The front door opens up to views of the water greeting you. The kitchen countertops and backsplash tastefully bring the outside in with hints of the red tile roof.
