13681 Route 23 Nestled along a state-maintained road for year-round convenience, this charming waterfront retreat offers the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility. Surrounded by picturesque scenery and the soothing sounds of a flowing creek, yet just minutes from shopping, dining, outdoor adventures, and medical facilities, this property truly delivers the best of both worlds. Set on 1.77 scenic acres, this recently improved 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch invites you to relax and unwind. Two covered porches provide the ideal spots to enjoy the peaceful setting, while inside you'll find a warm, inviting interior filled with rustic character. Highlights include a spacious living room with a pine accent wall, cozy fireplace, and sliding glass doors leading to the back porch overlooking the creek. The dining room showcases beautiful pine ceilings and classic wainscoting, while the functional U-shaped kitchen and flexible bonus rooms offer comfort and versatility for everyday living, guests, hobbies, or a home office. The expansive owner's suite features a generous bedroom plus a private sitting room with vaulted pine ceilings, currently utilized as additional sleeping space. Recent upgrades add tremendous value and peace of mind, including a brand new roof, new water heater, new gas heater in the garage, new 12x24 shed, and a worry free whole-house generator. Completing the package is a heated one-car garage for year-round convenience. Lovingly maintained and now available due to a change in the sellers' plans, this rare creek-side property is ready to welcome its next owners home.
