Beautifully maintained brick home tucked into a neighborhood of just 25 homes, with gorgeous water views that can be enjoyed throughout. A grand entry welcomes you inside, features such as solid oak hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings set the tone. The heart of the home is the expansive open kitchen, breakfast area and family room, offering incredible counter space and plenty of room to gather. A large gas fireplace anchors the family room, adding warmth without taking anything away from the beautiful water views. A spacious first-floor room with an adjoining full bath provides great flexibility as a home office, guest space or first-floor bedroom. Out back, enjoy the views from the screened porch or open covered porch, both perfect spots to slow down and take it all in. Upstairs, the primary suite has something truly special: its own private balcony overlooking the water. Meticulously cared for inside and out, this is a home that deserves a second look. Right around the corner from White House Cove Marina and centrally located near Langley Air Force Base, NASA, interstates, shopping, dining and more!
