Mountain Retreat Charm in the Heart of Lake Forest! Nestled among towering, mature trees on a beautifully elevated wooded homesite, this charming custom-built residence offers the peaceful atmosphere of a North Carolina mountain retreat right here in Daphne! Built by its original owner, this thoughtfully designed, single-level home features three bedrooms, two full baths, and an inviting open floor plan highlighted by dramatic cathedral ceilings with exposed natural wood trusses. The spacious great room is truly the heart of the home, featuring soaring ceilings, a handsome brick wood-burning fireplace with remote-controlled electric heater logs, and an open connection to the dining area and kitchen. The striking wood beams add architectural character and warmth throughout the main living space. Just off the primary bedroom, a wonderful sunroom surrounded by windows invites you to relax and enjoy the beauty of the natural wooded setting. The primary bath features double vanities and a generous walk-in shower. Additional conveniences include accessible doorways and grab handles. Important improvements include complete replumbing in 2020, HVAC replacement in 2018, and a whole-house generator for added peace of mind. The carport includes a large, enclosed workshop, while a separate detached storage building sits above the home along the wooded hillside. From the welcoming covered front porch to the beautiful, wooded surroundings, this unique property offers character, comfort, and an exceptional connection to nature. Enjoy the feeling of a mountain getaway without leaving the Eastern Shore!
