Property Description
The home at 2820 Canter Drive is truly special. Set back from the road on approx 10 acres, this 5 bedroom / 3 bath home was built by Tommy Merritt, as was the addition to the screened porch, the expanded master bath and the extra large detatched 2 car garage. There's lots of room for living in the three interior common spaces (living room, loft and bonus/recreation room). Generous windows and skylights bring light indoors and provide views all around of the outdoors.
You won't see this "Paradise in the Pines" from Canter Drive. As you wind up the private drive, the house will come into view in the center of a large cleared area surrounded by woods. You'll notice the full-length front porch (porch swing included!). The property gently slopes down in the back and side to Forrest Creek. You may choose to park in the side-entry garage or stop in the adjacent tall carport next to the screened porch. This porch is large enough to accommodate both eating and sitting areas, even a hammock. There are plant hooks conveniently located and a wide shelf running all around for more plants if you wish. There's also a deck off the screened porch for grilling or sunning outdoors, though you may prefer sitting around the firepit in the evenings.
Step in the front door to the living room with a high ceiling and loft area. The wood-burning fireplace makes for cosy evenings. The dining room and kitchen are off the living room and both also have exits to the screened porch. Three generous-sized bedrooms, including the master bedroom are down a hall from the living room. The master bedroom is large enough for a sitting area and also has a private deck. There are two closets, one is a large walk-in. In the master bathroom you'll find a double vanity. The owner has expanded the master bath to include a separate shower and a large jetted tub surrounded by windows - a special place to relax and pamper yourself.
In addition to the loft upstairs, you'll find a bonus/recreation room with two large bedrooms and a full bath adjacent. This space looks like an ideal space for visitors, teen-agers or perhaps even bed and breakfast guests.
If you are looking for workshop space, the extra large garage is already outfitted for such use. The house is wired for a whole-house generator with a transfer switch and room for the generator in the garage. The owner is also selling the generator separately.
From the front porch rocking chairs or swing, you can enjoy watching deer, wild turkeys, fox and many different birds. The house is separated from Canter Drive by a wooded area, giving you the feeling of living in a private "Paradise in the Pines".
Continental Farms is a quiet subdivision of friendly neighbors who gather a couple of times a year for community work days along the road. Residents request visitors to drive slowly for the safety of children.
