Welcome to 11216 Shelter Cove

Welcome to 11216 Shelter Cove in beautiful Gatling Pointe South. This all brick transitional was built by Sasser Construction, one of Hampton Roads most notable custom builders and the 2012 Southern Living Builder of the Year. you will notice quality finishes and attention to detail throughout.

As you enter the elegant two story foyer, the first floor office is on the left.  It is set off by fell glass French doors and features rich looking built in cabinets and shelves.

The formal living room is to the right and has heavy trim and beautiful hardwood floors.  It shares this side of the home with the formal dining room which is large enough to seat the whole family during holiday gatherings and has great wall space for a china cabinet and buffet table.  The rear window on the back of the dining provides a nice view of the wooded back yard and the ceiling medallion provides an elegant touch.  The two formal spaces are separated with fluted columns and half walls.

To the left of the dining room and straight down the center hall from the foyer is the large eat in kitchen. The center island contains the cooktop with downdraft exhaust.  Appliances include a wall oven and microwave, dishwasher, disposal, and double stainless sinks. There is plenty of cabinet storage and ample counter top space for food preparation.  Wood floors go throughout the kitchen and into the breakfast nook which has a rear exit door.

The kitchen is open to the vaulted family room.  This open layout is ideal for entertaining.  The family room contains lots of windows on the back of the house, a warm gas log fireplace, built in shelves and a rear staircase.  You will see heavy trim all around the colonial mantle and fireplace.

The utility room is also on the first floor between the garage and the kitchen so it makes a great mud room.

All the bedrooms are on the second floor.  If you go up the front staircase from the foyer the master bedroom is to the right.  It has a decorative tray ceiling, large walk in closet and elegant master bath.  The vaulted ceiling in the bath makes this space live large.  There is a large ceramic tile shower, corner jetted tub, double sink vanities and commode all surrounded by ceramic tile floors.

There are two generous bedroom that share a full bath in the hall way, and the fourth bedroom over the garage has a full bath of its own. 

Behind the kitchen and the family room, running almost across the width of the home is the deck.  It has some built in benches and a beautiful view of some of the march from Town Farm Creek.  There is no shortage of deer and other wild life that can be seen from here.

Other notable features include a 2 car, side load garage,  walk-up attic space, an aggregate drive with ample parking, quiet cul-de-sac location, beautiful landscaping water views.

While the neighborhood of Gatling Point offers a park with playground and picnic area, residents have the option of joining the Gatling Point Yacht club.  A great place to relax by the pool, play tennis and meet new friends.  And don’t forget, the charming town of Smithfield with its brick sidewalks and quaint atmosphere is just around the corner and is a great place to shop, tour and grab a bite to eat.

This elegant home is sensibly priced at $415,000.  Like to see the inside?  Call me for an appointment and set aside plenty of time because there is a lot to see.
