| A secluded custom built two story home on the water! Just the prescription for a stress-filled life. Get away every day to this fantastic home. Located on the Maurice River in Cumberland County, just thirty short minutes to the ocean and South Jersey beaches. Great fishing and crabbing and of course bird watching. Eagles regularly soar above the house and nest in nearby areas so they are always around. Many species of birds can been seen from your wrap around deck with built-in benches and more than enough room for entertaining. There is also a deck on the side of the house to get a great suntan. Another area has gardens and a small covered area for picnicking. The grounds have been maintained and the gardens have a way of winding through and next to the pathway to the house from the garage. The garage has two overhead doors with room for two cars. Another entrance to the garage through a door to an extra storage room or possible workshop complete with air conditioner. A shed is out back of the garage for even more storage. As you wind down the path to the house itself many features will catch your eyes, gardens with mini sculptures and a lighthouse with glass used as cascading water. The main entrance is up the steps to a deck and an etched glass front door. Through this door is the great room. Ceramic tiled floor leads into the kitchen area with open shelves and cabinets, compact and efficient with more than enough room. A corner sink, gas range, refrigerator and spacious countertops. A dining area is next to the kitchen again with ceramic tiled floor. The main living area has Berber carpeting and lots of windows that face east for that fantastic sunrise over the water. A sliding glass door to the deck is at the east end of the great room, flanked by large stationary windows on top, smaller windows on the bottom that open to let in the fresh air. Both corners of this great room are havens for plants of all kinds just because of the wonderful eastern and southern exposure all day long. As you go outside to the deck, the first thing you notice is that this is a tidal river, with ebb and flow so there is no stagnant water to breed the New Jersey state bird the mosquito! Just kidding of course. But there are so many species of birds that frequent this area that you need a book to keep track of all the numerous species, especially at migration time. This deck has so many areas that you will enjoy, sitting on the built-in bench on the one side under the large shade tree. A large shade umbrella will come in handy since it is southern exposure. The master suite is upstairs, featuring a wall of windows to over look the river and let in that morning sun. The master bath features a neo-angle shower stall with sliding door, open shelving and a unique wooden ceiling. A stained glass window has been installed in the window for an effect both inside and out. A full walk-in closet to keep you organized. A second bedroom and main bath are on the first floor, just off the main entry. This bedroom also has a walk-in closet and access to the main bath through its own private doorway. The main bath is again unique with a lighthouse stained glass window, ceramic tiled walls and ceiling above the tub, a custom slate floor and shower doors. A lighthouse scene is painted on the tiles in this bathroom to really round out the nautical theme. A full basement with walkout and laundry facility with a water treatment system for the well.
