PRIVATE waterfront estate on the EAST RIVER, with AMAZING SUNSET views is located on 9.6 BUCOLIC acres with 1600' waterfront. DEEP WATER dock, pool and quaint pool house, fenced acreage for horses and small horse barn. Comfortable but elegant sea captain's home, Windhover, circa 1893, has been beautifully restored and preserved. Stunning center hallway and heart pine floors, eleven foot ceilings on the first floor, ten on the second and nine on the third complete the yesteryear appearance. The large well equipped kitchen with sitting area is very inviting and there is plenty of room with five bedrooms and four full baths. The master suite includes a large spa bath and sitting room. Southern breezes are captured on the large porches and in the front to back living room with fireplace. Over-sized French doors open the home to the southern style screened, sitting and sipping porch (44' wide) overlooking the pool, mature trees, beautiful grounds and the river. This is a WOW of a property located just outside the fun loving, step-back-in-time village of Mathews with plenty of restaurants and amenities. Boat, fish, kayak, ride your bicycle or just sit and relax! NO FLOOD ZONE.
