This lovely Cape Cod home has four bedrooms, two full baths, and one-half bath and sits on 4.27 wooded acres surrounded softly by nature. The current long-time owners have thoughtfully renovated this home over the years. Improvements include an Anthony Sylvan Gunite Reverse osmosis heated pool with a hot tub in 2013, a roof in 2016, a hot water heater in 2022, a complete kitchen remodel in 2017, and a Heat Pump/AC with propane backup in 2020. The main level has beautiful, cherry hardwood flooring throughout. A dedicated dining room to the right leads to the gourmet kitchen with knotty pine cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a six-burner gas professional stove with exhaust, a massive family room space with vaulted ceilings, and a stone stacked fireplace with wood stove insert to enjoy winter days. This space has sliders to the back stone patio and pool area. Off the family room is a large 1st-floor primary bedroom with a full three-piece bath, walk-in closet, and French doors leading to a private sunroom. There is also laundry, a mudroom, and a powder room on the main level. Heading upstairs is an open loft with three large bedrooms and a spacious full bath. The basement is unfinished with interior access and bilco doors as well. There is also an oversized two-car garage. To love this home is to love the outdoors; this space is created to enjoy and be a part of nature, from the quaint log fencing to the koi ponds, chicken coop, and pig shed. The koi pond in the courtyard is a traditional decorative pond with koi fish. It has an EPDM liner, skimmer, and external UV pump, requiring little maintenance. The back pond is an earthen bottom pond built four years ago for ducks. The sellers have not had domestic ducks for the last two years. Since they have been gone, a pair of wild mallards nest on the island the previous spring and hatched six ducklings. We expect they will return this year as well. Maintenance for that pond only requires scooping leaves from the intake bay & the stream in the fall. The back âfieldâ is planted with two varieties of annual clover: White Dutch & crimson red. A deer family of 8-10 beds there every night. Three deer stands on the property will be left behind because the trees they are in have grown around them. For the last 15 years, sellers have done habitat work to the property to encourage the deer, which has worked tremendously. You can easily ride a golf cart from home to 3 local marinas with boat slips available. Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor, 2 Rivers Yacht Basin, and Safe Harbor Marina. NO HOA.
