Being sold furnished with its private dock offering easy access to Assawoman Bay, this home is perfect for boating enthusiasts and is conveniently located near Harris Teeter, the Freeman Stage, Bayside, and the beaches. At the front of the home, a welcoming living room leads seamlessly into the recently renovated gourmet kitchen. This culinary dream (renovated in 2023) features sleek granite countertops, a striking stone backsplash, soft-close cabinets with crown molding, a five-burner gas stove with a modern range hood, a deep double farmhouse sink, and fingerprint-resistant stainless-steel appliances. Whether you're enjoying casual meals at the breakfast bar or hosting larger gatherings in the dining area, this space is designed for both style and functionality. A significant seller upgrade in 2014 expanded the home with a spacious 28 x 12 addition that includes a light-filled family room, a well-appointed laundry room, an enclosed 3-season porch, and an elevated deck with steps leading to the private dock, complete with a pontoon boat lift. The family room boasts a high vaulted ceiling with two wave-style ceiling fans and sliding glass doors that open to the enclosed porch and deck. Outdoor living is a breeze, whether you're dining alfresco, hosting a crab feast, or simply relaxing with serene canal views.

Two additional guest bedrooms each exude charm and share a stylishly updated bath with tiled floors and upgraded fixtures. The home’s energy efficiency was further enhanced in 2020 with a heat pump system upgrade featuring an electric backup, and the encapsulated crawlspace includes a dehumidifier and sump pump for added peace of mind. Bayview Estates is known for its low HOA fees, low taxes, and excellent amenities, including a pool and recreation facility just a short walk away.
