This special home is a rare opportunity to find a beautifully renovated and expanded brick and slate Colonial with spectacular James River views. This 2.35 acre private lot with gentle sweeping lawns leads to the Kanawha Canal with easy access for your pontoon boat or kayak. A meticulous addition on this charming home has doubled the size with a new spacious open concept kitchen and family room with all the high-end bells and whistles, including a large breakfast area, inset custom cabinets, marble countertops, Sub Zero and Viking. The large kitchen opens to an expansive family room with fireplace and custom built-ins. The airy sunroom with bluestone floors surrounded by windows overlooks the Gunite salt water pool. All of these rooms open to the incredible views of the Kanawha Canal and the James River. The original part of the home has charm galore with a pretty formal living room with a fireplace and a dining room room with French doors out to the porch, which wraps around the property. There are 2 mudrooms in this home with abundant storage and one serves as a butler's pantry with additional oven and fridge for catering. The charming den with fireplace makes for a great additional hang out space. This newer addition offers a back stairway and an elevator to the 2nd floor. The expansive owner's suite has a gracious bedroom with fireplace and access to a large terrace running across the back of the home, 2 large walk-in closets, and a wonderful spa-like bath with soaking tub, 2 vanities and water closet. There are 3 additional bedrooms on the 2nd floor, each with their own renovated bathroom. Up to the finished 3rd floor, you have an amazing space for a private office or rec room space. There is a large dry basement space with workroom ready for future expansion. The multiple covered porches and terraces are what make connecting with nature easy in this scenic setting.
