Hidden behind a mature strand of trees, native plants and shrubs, stands a bright and cheerful Dutch Colonial. The gambrel roof and dormer windows are reminiscent of a home situated in a country meadow and woodland. If you’re a nature lover, take heart. Although the garden is quiet now, the hibernating blooms are preparing for their spring and summer show. You’ll enjoy fig trees, mint, milkweed, blueberry bushes and the herb garden as well as the loyal birds and butterflies who have been coming here for years.
Step inside the 2,022 square foot home to fresh, neutral, paint tones and hardwood floors that flow throughout the home (most are new). The rooms resemble the Georgian style but don’t interrupt the smooth layout. A spacious living room to the right, and an inviting family room on the left with bay window, brick fireplace and hardwood floors which could be your favorite room in the home. The renovated, retro kitchen is fun; and if you enjoy baking (the present owner is a baker and chocolatier) there is plenty of counter space for all your projects! Recessed lights, new stainless-steel stove, French Door fridge, granite counters, 42-inch metallic white cabinets with see through doors add to the excitement!
The spacious, renovated, primary bedroom is attached to a sitting room and en suite bath. Two other bedrooms and a hall bath complete the upper level.
The HVAC is a two-zoned system: an older carrier heat pump services the upper level and a 2015 Trane XLL5i hybrid heat pump system heats and cools the main level. The 1,112 unfinished basement is ready for your ideas. It has a waterproofing system. Yes, there is an oversized, two-car garage and gravel driveway which could house another 2-3 vehicles.
The homeowners of Hillsmere Shores enjoy their beach community! It boasts a private marina on Duvall Creek with boat slips and a launch.

If this isn’t enough, Quiet Waters Park and its 340+ acres of natural beauty runs parallel to the community. The HOA is voluntary ($25 per year) and a special assessment of $250 is included in the property tax bill for upkeep of beach and pier.
