COTTAGES are often considered COUNTRY HOMES and are sometimes viewed as SECOND residences. The James River Retreat is a GATED COMMUNITY that offers BOTH full-time RESIDENCES and weekend GETAWAY properties in a PRIVATE acreage setting. The James River flows LEISURELY throughout the park, attracting BIRDS and WILDLIFE, making every DAY an ADVENTURE !! #109 James River Landing PRESENTS an exceptional OPPORTUNITY on 2.5 acres of mature trees that border the CROWN LAND forest area. This setting is IDEAL for the spectacular WALKOUT basement home. The welcoming - open and wide VERHANDA - greets you, complete with charming inlaid RIVER STONE details on the columns and around the SOARING windows. High VAULTED ceilings amplify NATURAL light, while large SOUTH-FACING windows flood the interior with sunlight, creating a BRIGHT and INVITING atmosphere. The harmonious design BLENDS the interior with the OUTSIDE surrounding environment. Natural elements, such as gracefully AGED pine ceilings and RUGGED river stone details, are echoed in the IMPRESSIVE fireplace, enhancing the connection to the outdoors. The open-concept design is ACCENTUATED by the inviting natural light. Crisp, MODERN white kitchen cabinets complement the MASSIVE ISLAND, establishing a natural GATHERING spot for meals and ENTERTAINING within the GREAT ROOM. There is STORAGE and more STORAGE in the cabinetry. 2 spacious BEDROOMS are located on the main level, CONVENIENTLY opposite the main 4-piece bathroom, which features a SLEEK and CONTEMPORARY design with an OVERSIZED vanity for necessities and storage.
