Outdoor living shines with both a spacious new sun deck and new screened porch, creating the perfect spaces for morning coffee, entertaining, or unwinding after a day on Center Hill Lake.
The lower level is designed for fun and relaxation with a recreation and bar area, space for a pool table, and the convenience of a private bathroom, making it ideal for guests and game day gatherings.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized garage with epoxy floors and plenty of room for boats, side-by-sides, jet skis, Razors, vehicles, and lake gear. The fenced backyard offers seasonal lake views, raised garden beds, and extensive landscaping that creates a private retreat.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal sets this home apart with mature landscaping and a charming brick-inlaid circular walkway leading to the front entrance.
Blue Water Bay owners and guests enjoy resort-style amenities including a community pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and walking trails, while marinas, boating, fishing, hiking, and kayaking are just minutes away.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or vacation home, this property also offers excellent short-term rental potential with projected annual income of approximately $70,000.
