Located at the end of a beautiful quiet cul de sac in the Windings, this custom Tidewater colonial with charming hand-split cedar shake roof sits on top of an east and west facing hill with exceptional forest and wetland views. Nature lovers enjoy spring sequential blooms of hundreds of bulbs- giant crocus, daffodils, and a carpeted forest floor of intense blue squill and beloved Virginia bluebells. Deer sightings are common with an occasional fox passing through, and a bird lovers delight, including hummingbirds feeding at your kitchen window! Love having your very own sledding hill in the winter. This first time offered sun- filled 3400 square foot property has a large two tiered deck with built-in natural gas barbecue and a generous open screened in porch with a built in barbecue. Enter the home to a bright large open foyer with a jaw dropping view of a stunning cathedral ceilinged FR with surround windows, wet bar, and hard wood floors. The high wall is floor to ceiling brick with a raised hearth fireplace and adjacent built in cabinets. To the left of the entry is a large LR with a wood burning fireplace and a huge bay window. To the right is an open formal DR, floor to ceiling window, crown molding, and two built in corner cabinets. Two sets of French doors lead to an adjoining kitchen and a den. The kitchen has generous Poggenpohl style solid wood oak cabinets with seating at a large kitchen island. Enjoy breakfast in the sunny full double bay seating area overlooking the woods. Privacy at its best! The first floor also has a full bath and a large mud room. Semi-open stairs lead to a spacious Master Bedroom through big French doors with a walk-in closet and generous en-suite. Across the catwalk are three more exceptionally large bedrooms and a full bath. Lots of natural light bathes this home year round but shaded from summer sun by mature oaks. Full walkout basement is ready for your finishing touches. Three car garage with an extra wide flat driveway. Large front porch to enjoy the surroundings. Enjoy the many amenities of the Windings: pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, sledding hill, fishing pond, easy access to the Great Western Trail. The Windings has a shared common well and sewer system. This is a very friendly family community with a 4th of July parade and picnic, Easter egg hunt, Star under the Moon concert, community email system and more. We have our own swim team too. This is TRULY A MUST SEE HOME!
