Charming Waterfront Cottage on Williston Creek: Tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, this character-filled waterfront cottage on Williston Creek offers the perfect blend of charm, function, and serenity. Enjoy stunning sunsets from the expansive covered deck shaded by majestic Live Oaks, or head down to your private dock for fishing, kayaking, or jet skiing. The property features a bulkheaded shoreline and a skiff boat launch (note: the Williston Creek bridge has limited clearance for larger boats). There is plenty of room to park your boat or RV. Inside, large windows bring in beautiful natural light and frame tranquil water views. The detached garage adds valuable flexibility to the property with its own electric meter and versatile layout, approx. 1900 sf. The lower level has been fully renovated to include a kitchen, bedroom, full bathroom, and a one-car garage/workshop—perfect for guests, extended family, or hobby space. The unfinished upper level is a blank canvas with room for a bathroom and potential for a game room, guest suite, or studio, and it opens to a large private deck with peaceful views of the creek. A brand-new roof was installed on the garage in 2025. Don't miss the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind retreat—schedule your showing today!
