About this home
Known to locals as the “Gingerbread House”, this unique direct waterfront property in the renowned village of Waterlily is available now for the first time. The storybook cottage has Country French charm and was custom built throughout.
The Cottage is stucco-on-frame (2x6 construction) and stone exterior with iconic architectural features such as half-timbers, concrete lintels, and working shutters on the east side. Inside are two bedrooms and two full baths, a large eat-in kitchen, laundry, pantry, and many built-ins. A large inviting living room features a rounded outer wall for panoramic viewing. Local cedar and cherry feature in the artistic craftsmanship of many interior fixtures. The kitchen is fitted with handmade mahogany butcher block counters and solid wood cabinetry.
All floors are wood or tile. All cabinetry throughout is solid wood and custom made.
The 27 x 41 two car detached garage of same construction as the Cottage has ample workbenches, storage cabinets, shelving, and a laundry sink which is plumbed to the septic. Central stairs lead to the second floor landing with a walk-in storage closet and two finished rooms. Either room is ideal for an artist, office, or future guest room.
The green thumb in the family will love the 22x40 stone walled garden and the many flowers. A mature pecan tree produces well along with fig, pomegranate and blueberries. The bird watcher will be busy year round with a variety from hummingbirds to winter swans.
Take a magical walk down the winding path to the 225 foot waterfront. The incredible engineered concrete bulkhead will astound you. This feat was permitted by the Army Corp of Engineers. The 100 foot pier, boathouse, and gazebo complete the requirements for waterfront living.
There is plenty of unused lot coverage available for future construction needs. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a property that can be a generational treasure.
