This centrally situated Dutch-Colonial at the Green offers golfing at your front doorstep and saltwater boating from a backyard pier. This colonial-style home offers authentic Williamsburg-style details such as chair rail, crown moulding, and a wood-burning fireplace, but this home has been creatively updated for today's lifestyle with an open Great Room and lots of extra recessed lighting. This 1972 home offers hardwood floors, gracious built-ins, and a spacious interior with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and bonus storage areas in 2,360 square feet.

On the outside, the prominent cedar-shake roof and beaded wood siding give this home a "cottage in the woods" feel and the landscaped yard provides colorful spring-blooming Azaleas plus decorative Birch trees, Crepe Myrtle, and a Willow Oak tree gracing a verdant lawn.

A covered front porch opens to an airy foyer that features a custom stained glass 8-panel front door with a 4-light overhead transom and is open to a hardwood staircase with white risers. The Great Room includes a waterfront Sun Room area that is defined by a half-wall with columns, so that all the living spaces enjoy charming water views of Carters Creek. The first-floor Den/Home Office features built in cabinets and bookshelves plus a door to the backyard deck. The Kitchen has white cabinets with a decorative tile backsplash and coastal-green countertops with updated white appliances. There is a large pass-through that opens to the Dining Area with a sea-green ceramic-tiled Breakfast Bar. Off the Kitchen is a Utility/Laundry Room that includes a full-sized washer & dryer. A Powder Room and a linen closet are tucked in off the Entrance Foyer.

Upstairs is an Owner's Suite with large windows overlooking the water, an updated Bath, and His & Hers Closets. The two Guest Bedrooms share a Hall Bath. The first Guest Bedroom, on the Street side, features a wall of custom storage shelves with sliding doors, making a great place to keep the family games and jigsaw puzzles or media collection. The second Guest Bedroom has a walk-in attic storage space for convenience. Beneath the Sun Room is an additional Work/Store Room with a concrete floor and a double-door entry - a great space for gardening tools, fishing poles, kayaks and innertubes.

This home has a boat slip at the end and on the downstream side of a shared pier, located right in the back yard, with 3' Mean Low Water. One benefit of being next to the dock is the ease of running power out to your slip for a low-profile boat lift, if desired. This pier has six slips and is held as a separate LLC.

Condominium fees are $315.00 a month and include water and sewer, basic Cable TV service, and weekly grass cutting, leaf blowing, and trash pickup. The Green is a 24-Unit condominium association consisting of 12 duplexes, located on an 8 ± acre waterfront point fronting on Dead and Bones Cove of Carters Creek, and adjacent to The Tartan Golf Course in Weems. You can stroll over to the St. Andrews Grill for a nice lunch or dinner and enjoy the wifi hotspot. The Green offers a convenient close-in location, central to the towns of Kilmarnock, White Stone, and Irvington.
