A tropical oasis awaits the buyers of this custom built, one owner Dog River waterfront home. This home is on the widest part of the river with magnificent views from inside and from the double verandahs on each level. A double decker structure over the river has a boathouse with a cozy swing, a boatlift and storage areas downstairs with an incredible tiki bar and sitting area upstairs and probably the best panoramic view of the river anywhere. Step into the lush backyard and a wonderful pool awaits you for those days when you just want to chill in a more private, gated setting. The interior of this classic traditional style gem features approximately 3600 square feet of well-designed and custom-built living area and wide plank hardwood floors. The first level features a gourmet island kitchen with custom cabinetry, double convection ovens, stainless appliances, etc. etc. The kitchen opens unto a large dining room with a see-through fireplace to the cozy downstairs family room. Also on this level is a "suite" bedroom and bath with a private entrance. All appliances (including refrigerator and washer/dryer) will remain with this sale. Plantation shutters cover all the windows in the home. The second level has three more spacious bedrooms, each with a private bath. The primary suite has an ample sized glamour bath, a gas fireplace and french doors leading to the upstairs verandah with the commanding views of the river. Also on this level is the second living area, currently a crimson tribute room, complete with a theatre style screen and projector, an upgraded sound system and a plethora of built-in cabinets. Of course, some navy blue paint could easily convert this area to something more palatable to fans of our other state university. The home is heated with a Rennai system, accounting for remarkably reasonable winter utility bills. Storage space is another appealing feature of this home, which also features a double garage and a fenced yard. Owner indcates pool liner and pump were replaced within the last two years.
