"Quietude" ~ Myers Creek ~ Minutes from the Corrotoman River
This finely-crafted
coastal home is nestled into a wooded knoll overlooking a
tranquil creek.
The exterior features lapped,
clear-coated cedar shakes, stone facings, and grecian
columns with a contemporary roofline incorporating peaked
and shed dormers plus an treetop balcony. The driveway
entrance is flanked with stone pillars topped by large gas
lamps. A native Mountain Laurel lined path leads down to a
waterside facility consisting of a pier with power and
water, a boat lift, a fish-cleaning station, an equipment
box, and a rare boat house. (These are no longer allowed to
be built in Lancaster County.) The lot consists of 1.9
± acres with a broad shoreline of 325 ± feet.
The sun-washed Great Room features softly polished
hardwood floors and vaulted, white raftered ceilings. A
gently turning stairwell with asymmetrical windows adds an
eye-pleasing detail to the open space, as does a central,
stacked stone fireplace with gas logs. Small speakers are
mounted unobtrusively to the rafters for audiophiles, and
the entire house is wired for sound and internet/media
access. French doors and oversized windows open to the
gracious back porch which overlooks the creek with
downstream views of the tranquil waters. The coastal theme
is carried outdoors onto the porch with columns and an
insulated, white raftered roof (in case someone wants to
convert it to enclosed living space).
The Dining
Area features dual built-in China Cupboards, with a
sea-blue hand-rubbed finish to match the unique Kitchen
cabinets, with their round wooden knobs and furniture leg
detail. Granite counters and stainless appliances grace the
efficient U-shaped design.
An Owner's Suite on the
Main Floor has waterside windows, hardwood floors, built in
speakers, and private Bath with a furniture quality
double-sink vanity. The versatile floorplan features a
walk-through closet that opens to another room, allowing it
to be used as an Owner's Sitting Room, Home Office, Family
Room or Guest Bedroom.
