"Hilltop Harbour" ~ John's Creek ~ Corrotoman River

This charming, circa 1900 house has been completely remodeled with a sophisticated touch, while preserving the historical details of hand-blown glass window panes, wide wooden trim, brick fireplace, and heart-pine flooring that has been beautifully sanded and refinished.

The Great Room features recessed lighting and an original brick fireplace that has been converted to gas logs. The custom kitchen features granite-composite (silestone) counter tops, plus top-quality appliances including a stainless steel appliances with a dishwasher, and a dual-fuel Jenn-Air range with gas cooktop and electric oven. The side-by-side refrigerator has a front that matches the white, paneled cabinets. A sunny, spacious bath features tile flooring, an oversized jetted tub/shower, and also hosts a European water-conserving washer and dryer set. There are 2 bedrooms, the larger one featuring dual closets and views of the water. The whole house, while petite, enjoys large windows, high ceilings, and lots of sunlight. A wonderful, sunny deck wraps around two sides of house for an additional outdoor living area. A matching garden shed in the back yard provides extra storage space.

The house was updated in 2003 with new mechanical systems including central air and a gas furnace, plus new plumbing and a new roof that carries a lifetime warranty. In 2007 the sloping front yard and level back yard was graded and seeded with new grass, and the chimney was stabilized to keep it snugged up against the house. The exterior recieved a fresh coat of paint in 2010.
