Homes For Sale

Each home at Cantine’s Island is unique and friendly-feeling, while also being in harmony with the other homes. Homes are close to each other, on purpose, to encourage ready access and interaction between neighbors. This leaves the majority of the 9.5-acre property dedicated for woodlands, open play areas and gardens. Each home has a small outdoor area of its own, for patios and gardens.

Built in 2016, this 3,600 square foot house boasts its newness with pure comfort. Sitting at three stories high, the top two floors occupy the main house while the bottom floor holds a very large one bedroom, easily converted two bedroom, apartment or mother-in-law suite (1,200 square feet) with all the amenities a home could need, including a second washer and dryer and dishwasher. There is a private entrance to the apartment as well as stairs in the house in case you just want the floor for extra personal space, however having the extra cushion to cover taxes and/or mortgage surely helps with that comfortable living. While this house appears to be modest, it is built with top notch materials. The outside is hardiplank.

The main floor has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, and study.

The third floor is 1,200 square feet of open space currently being used as two more bedrooms as the third full bathroom separates the space into two “wings”. It also makes for a magical play space for the kiddos.

All together the house is considered a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home with an office, two laundry rooms, two kitchens, a 38ft x 6ft front porch, and a 10ft x 20ft composite deck in the back with a ramp to make grocery carrying easy. The sounds of the waterfall on the back deck creates a sense of tranquility. Central AC and heat with each floor zoned individually; meaning each floor has its own thermostat so everyone can live comfortably rather hot or cold natured. Also, making it more energy efficient.

The Common House is central to the community and is the place where community members gather to socialize, dine together a few evenings per week, attend meetings and activities, or use for private purposes.
