About This Home

As of October 2023

PONDFRONT STUNNER! Do you love the idea of watching breathtaking sunsets over the water while sipping a cold drink by a cozy fireplace? If so, you need to check out this amazing home. When you step inside, you'll immediately notice how bright and airy it is. It's perfect for those who prefer one-level living or for families with room to grow and accommodate guests. On the main floor, there's a spacious and well-lit living area that overlooks a beautiful backyard oasis. It even has a gas fireplace to keep you warm during chilly nights and gatherings with loved ones. You'll also find a formal dining space that's great for hosting dinner parties or perhaps you'd prefer to turn it into a game room with a pool table? There's even a separate office space that's conveniently located near a full bathroom. It's ideal for those who work from home or for when you have extra guests staying over. Still on the main floor, there's a lovely sunroom with charming wooden details on the ceiling. From here, you can enjoy the stunning pond views and majestic sunsets. The primary suite, bathroom, and laundry room are also conveniently located on this floor for easy access. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious rooms that can be used as bedrooms or as additional entertainment spaces. But the real showstopper is the backyard. It features an oversized paver patio with a built-in round gas fireplace, as well as a covered pavilion. Both areas offer incredible views of the pond, where you can witness the most beautiful sunsets and observe waterfowl in their natural habitat. And let's not forget about the amazing neighborhood itself. The Retreat at Love Creek is a fully developed community with mature trees, ponds, a clubhouse, a community pool, and direct access to Love Creek for canoeing and kayaking (with storage for owners). There's also a playground, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and a meeting room. Plus, all the conveniences you need are just a short 3-mile drive away, including grocery stores, a movie theater, shopping, and more. The highly sought-after Retreat at Love Creek offers just the beginning of your new beach lifestyle. Oh, and did I mention the bonus sunsets? This home is an absolute beauty!
