Nestled Above the River: Modern Comforts Meet Nature's Serenade — Welcome to this beautifully upgraded three-bedroom, two-bathroom Cedar Board and Batten cottage, a modern one-level home perched above the serene Horsepasture River. Enhancements from 2022-2024 include elegant leathered 'Alpine White' granite countertops, a kitchen outfitted with Bosch, LG, and KitchenAid appliances, and a commercial-grade stainless sink. High-efficiency Kohler and Hansgrohe fixtures, along with new sinks, ceiling fans, and designer vanity mirrors, adorn the bathrooms. The primary bathroom boasts a luxurious free-standing soaking tub, a frameless shower, and large tile floors, creating a spa-like experience. The home's modern aesthetic features matte black door handles, bamboo window treatments, and new lighting fixtures. Caribbean Heart Pine floors, V-groove wood plank ceilings, shiplap, and aromatic cedar closets throughout provide a touch of luxury. Additional upgrades include a commercial-grade dehumidification system for the crawl space, generator wiring, and elegant stacked Pennsylvania blue stone in the driveway. The revamped front patio enhances curb appeal. In 2023, HVAC ducts were cleaned, and a new capacitor was installed, ensuring optimal climate control. The living areas are perfect for entertaining, with multiple decks for grilling, gardening, or enjoying the river's soothing sounds. The screened porch, featuring two large Velux skylights, offers a comfortable space to relax. The landscaped grounds boast a specimen cherry tree, a pollinator garden, and space for growing fresh herbs. Burlingame is a well-maintained community with high-speed internet and amenities, including hiking, biking, fly-fishing, a riverside pavilion with a fire pit, playground, dog park, and 24/7 security. The stunning Miller Falls is just a 5-minute drive away. Additional amenities, such as golf and croquet, are available through the Burlingame Country Club, subject to membership approval.
