River Refresh - Waterfront with Spa on Placid Bay
Nestled along the gentle curves of Mattox Creek, River Refresh stands as a serene sanctuary, a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The house, adorned with a soft palette of earthy tones, seamlessly blends into the surrounding natural beauty, creating an atmosphere of peace and relaxation.
The exterior of the house exudes a rustic charm. A quaint screened-in porch wraps around the side of the house, offering a stunning view of the river.
Upon stepping inside, you're greeted by an interior that captures the essence of comfort and simplicity. Large windows allow the sunlight to filter in, illuminating the rooms with an inviting glow.
The living space features a cozy seating area adorned with soft cushions in soothing shades of aqua and grey. There is an over-sized table that comfortably seats 8 guests. The back side of the house is comprised of large sliding glass doors that frame a view of the river.
The bedrooms are designed as tranquil havens, each offering an ambiance that soothes the soul. Each bedroom is equipped with a charging station compatible with Apple Products.
A cozy basement retreat awaits, offering both comfort and functionality. A pull-out bed, serving as a plush sofa by day, promises a restful night's sleep. Across the room, there is a neatly organized workspace with a spacious desk and ample lighting. The basement is stocked with plenty of games, books and puzzles to entertain guests after a lazy day enjoying the river. A large smart TV is mounted on the wall for family movie time.
Outside, a rustic landscape unfolds, a seamless extension of the natural beauty that surrounds the house. Stone pathways wind around the house, leading to hidden nooks. A pier juts out into the river, providing the perfect spot for fishing, launching kayaks, watching boats drift by, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the water.
Step onto the screened-in porch, a magical space bathed in the soft glow of fairy lights by night. Comfortable furniture beckons you to sink into its cushions, offering the perfect spot to sip a tasty drink or indulge in a good book. Just outside of the screened-in porch is a gas grill. Cooking utensils are in the kitchen for your convenience.
The outdoor fire-pit area is a delightful space designed for warmth, camaraderie, and enjoyment. Set beneath a starry night sky, the fire-pit takes center stage.
The garage houses a well-stocked games corner, encouraging friendly competition and shared moments of fun. From Jumbo Jenga to corn-hole, there is entertainment for everyone.
In this tranquil river house, time seems to slow down, allowing you to reconnect with nature and find solace in its serene embrace. It's a place where the worries of the world fade away, and the only thing that matters is the gentle rhythm of the river and the peaceful sanctuary that surrounds you.
