About This Home

As of August 2023

This home is a once-in-a-lifetime find! Unique in almost every way, this elegant riverfront home is the perfect spot for a full-time residence or a family vacation home. The beautifully designed front faade features a rounded arch reminiscent of a quaint hobbit dwelling. Diverse, mature landscaping flanks on either side of the entryway. A premium attached garage allows plenty of space to store cars, has enough room for a golf cart, and can be used as a workshop. The main level's screened porch is lovely for relaxing and enjoying the wilderness during all four seasons. The freshly painted interior adds to the natural light. An open kitchen features upscale appliances and plenty of counter space for preparing large meals. Also, the main level features a large primary bedroom and an office. Large windows on the backside of the home let in generous amounts of light while overlooking the Horsepasture River below. Watch the seasons change from the comfort of the indoors or while lounging outside on one of the spacious decks. The lower level has the potential to be a fully equipped entertainment center, complete with two bedrooms, an office/den, a large gathering area, and a wet bar. On the beautifully newly landscaped walk down to the river, a fire pit area is perfect for cool fall evenings, and further down, a bench is ideal for contemplation. This property runs 140 feet along the Horsepasture River, and there have been extensive landscape improvements. Memberships to the Burlingame Country Club are available upon approval. This home is a fantastic opportunity for riverfront living.
