Beautiful Water Views From Back Deck
View Of Inlet Out To Chesapeake Bay
Nestled along the shoreline of a Northampton County, VA deep water inlet is this gem of a Chesapeake Bay waterfront home, tucked in gracefully among the tall oaks and hickories, awaiting a new owner. Being listed for sale by the estate, this gracious traditional style home was built in 2008 and is like brand spanking new inside and out. Located in a tiny intimate Eastern Shore waterfront neighborhood of upscale homes, privacy is assured by its mature landscaping and spacious 4 acre parcel size. A very special retreat, relaxing, inspiring, the floor plan and spacious rooms in this home offer a perfect balance between possibilities for activity and entertaining or relaxation and a quiet place to just unwind, catch one’s breath.
Front View Of Home
The approach is down a winding private road, through groves of tall oaks and pines, glimpses of the water flashing between the trees, past horse barns and lovely homes. Lined with evergreens and crepe myrtle trees, the driveway curves through the wide, velvety green lawn and down a gentle slope towards the house. In the background, a wide ribbon of bright blue catches the eye. A low murmur of a boat, passing by on its way out to the Chesapeake Bay for a day of fun and fishing, competes with the noisy krank, krank of a blue heron, already fishing, with breakfast on its mind. A serene coastal scene, part of daily waterfront life here in this fine waterfront home.
Relax On The Front Porch
One of my favorite aspects of this home is its wide, welcoming front porch, graced on the south end by a gazebo, a wonderful place to sit in the shade, relaxing with a book, some iced tea, surrounded by flowers and songbirds flitting between the branches of the crepe myrtle trees, enjoying the kind of relaxing stillness for which the Eastern Shore of Virginia is famous. Once inside one is charmed by the open floor plan. The high cathedral ceiling in the great room features two skylights which make the room come alive, sunlight pouring in, illuminating everything with a golden cast, the corner fireplace ready to strike a cheery fire on a cool winter’s day. The openness of the floor plan continues into the breakfast room and the spacious kitchen, both with very pleasant water views. Kitchen counters are granite, with custom cabinets, appliances are top of the line GE Profile, all in all a very pleasant yet practical workspace, ready for the challenges a fine cook may place upon it. This home also features a large first floor master bedroom with tons and tons of closet space and scrumptious master bath with handmade tile decoration. Best of all, it’s move-right-in ready for you to begin to enjoy sweet Eastern Shore waterfront lifestyle.
