"Hawk's Nest" ~ Treetop Deck & Sailboat Dock on the Corrotoman River

Offering tree-top views from a large deck overlooking the deep waters of the Corrotoman River, this modified A-frame style cottage has windows spanning the waterside, skylights, hardwood floors and an open floorplan for gracious living. The house is situated on a wooded lot with 120-feet of shoreline, and faces the water with a southeastern exposure.

A large waterfront deck spans the width of the house and includes an "L" projecting further over the hillside for an outside dining area with spectacular views. There is a bench along the waterside marking the edge of the deck, plus stairs that lead directly to the deep water dock.

The entry level has a gracious Foyer next to the attached Garage and unfinished Basement. The Foyer features chair railing and vinyl floors for low maintenance and is open to an oak staircase with a landing at a right-angled turn. The Basement on the right side houses the workshop area, an oil furnace, electric water heater, circuit box, and washer and dryer hook ups. The one-car Garage has an automatic door opener.

The main living area is located on the second floor to maximize the water views. The galley-style Kitchen has a large pass-through giving the cook a nice view of the river. The Dining Area in front of the pass through has an elegant brass chandelier and wrap-around windows. On the opposite side of the Great Room is a wood-burning fireplace and a seating area defined by a carved wooden column. In the middle of the room is a door opening to the waterfront Deck. Behind the Kitchen and spanning the streetside of the house is a carpeted Owner's Suite with walk-in closet and full Bath.

An open oak stairway to the carpeted third floor enjoys lots of natural lighting with a skylight and a window at the lower landing. At the top of the stairs is a full Bath tucked under the angled roofline, with a shower and a skylight. On the waterside is a large Guest Bedroom with angled ceilings and a sliding glass door to the waterfront balcony. On the streetside of the house is a Bonus Room, also with the typical A-frame angled ceiling, that is currently decorated as an additional guest bedroom.

This home is situated in Corrotoman By The Bay and enjoys a community park with swimming pool, club house, tennis courts, playground, and golf chipping green. There is also an excellent boat ramp and launch area with pier and slips. The address for this property is 232 E. Highview Drive, Lancaster, Virginia, 22503.
