This secluded Bungalow lies just outside the Town of Kilmarnock, with a deep water pier on Indian Creek, and is lovingly landscaped with charming gardens, flowering shrubs, and towering trees.
The c. 1910 Arts & Crafts style home has been tastefully renovated and features refinished pine flooring throughout. Central HVAC is provided by a central air-conditioner and a gas-fired furnace. First floor ceilings are 9' tall and the doorways feature overhead glass transoms and wide, white-painted wood trim. A restful, covered front porch opens to a charming Foyer/Seating area with two large windows, a turned staircase, and a deep closet beneath the stairs. The foyer leads into the Dining Area and open Kitchen with white cabinets and deep forest green granite counters. Stainless Steel appliances include dishwasher, refrigerator, and 5-burner gas range with dual ovens. An overhead Advantium oven is to be installed soon. A walk-in Pantry offers water views along with built-in storage shelves. There is 200 Amp electrical service and an automatic back-up generator. A back door, with a big window-on-the-water, leads to an extremely private covered back porch and paved patio overlooking a tidal Salt Pond and Indian Creek. To the right side off the Kitchen is a Living Room that has large windows on the water side, and also on the east with expansive views of the picturesque dairy barn. There is also a full bath and Guest bedroom on this floor. Upstairs is devoted to a private Owner's Suite, with sloped ceilings reflective of the hip-roofing outside. A spacious bedroom has a dormer window overlooking the water, a hallway with a full-sized laundry pair tucked into a closet, and a private Bath with dual sinks, large white tiled shower, toilet, bidet, and walk-in closet.
A detached Potting Shed provides ambiance as well as an enclosed workshop with a view. The classic wooden dairy barn includes posts made of cedar trees, and a concrete pad with feeding stations. A large, enclosed workroom has wrap-around work benches with overhead lights. Walk out a wooded point and across a scenic footbridge to the sandspit on the creek where the pier is located, just a short run to the Bay, with deep, protected water. In the backyard, stop to linger at the waterfront fire ring, or rest a while in the fenced camellia garden. Open meadow in the front provides room for a horse or two on this 8.6 acre site. There is plenty of room to add onto the house, or build another one (perc permitting), on this spacious property.
There are three buildings on site: a two-bedroom bungalow, a potting shed, and a large dairy barn; the shed and the barn are both being sold "as is."
The Potting Shed offers ambiance plus a workbench with a waterview.
The large dairy barn has been built from cedar tree trunks in the open shed on the right side. There is an enclosed work room with extensive work benches and overhead lights.
Very interesting water views encompass a tidal salt pond in the foreground, sandy spit in the middle ground, and broad creek with far shore in the back ground.
A scenic foot bridge leads across the salt pond to the pier.
The pier on Indian Creek boasts a deep water harbor just a short run from the Chesapeake Bay.
Looking directly across the creek, you can see the marina at Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club.
The downstream view shows West Bay and Painter Pointe with the Chesapeake Bay just around the corner.
This fire ring is in the backyard, right by the shoreline.
The front and back of the house have covered porches for enjoying this private setting. The backyard porch, shown here, also enjoys a stone patio.
The bungalow and potting shed show a glimpse of Indian Creek shimmering beneath the trees and camellia bushes.
