Opportunities like this are rare. This elegant, historic colonial in the coveted Bird River Beach community sits on nearly 2 acres of private tree-lined grounds with sweeping pasture views, just steps from Bird River. A southern-style wrap-around porch leads through french doors into a dramatic foyer with a classic 1800s staircase. Inside are 4 fireplaces, formal living and sitting rooms, and an updated kitchen with granite counters, newer stainless steel appliances, rich cabinetry, and a breakfast bar. The showpiece is a dining and sitting area believed to date back to the 1600s, featuring preserved log cabin-style walls, exposed beams, and a stone fireplace. The main level also offers a full bath, 4th bedroom/office, laundry/storage room, and access to the oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and electric fireplace, with two additional large bedrooms and another full bath with updated shower and fixtures. Outdoors, enjoy a stone patio, covered BBQ pergola, playground, and storage shed, all surrounded by nearly 2 acres of private land. Owners can opt into community benefits including a private boat ramp, clubhouse, and playground. This home is more than a residence—it’s a piece of history in one of the area’s most desirable communities. Updates include a modern electric system, whole-home water filtration, dual-zoned HVAC with UV system, septic updates, new front siding, LVP flooring, and more. Conveniently located near major commuter routes, Richardson Farms, dining, and shopping.
