Stebbins Home – 28280 Timber Valley Court

A very nice home just inland from the McCauley’s Point State land at the South end of Donegal Bay.  This home sits on a very large lot (PSJ Lot 906) at the end of Timber Valley Court.  It also has an additional, large, vacant lot (#907).  This second lot to the North of the house could be sold because Lot 906 has a lot of open area and the second lot is not being used at all.  Either lot could have a guest house placed on it and/or 907 could have another home with its guest house placed on it.  Someone willing to do more buildings could have four structures that could be used as rentals.  The total square footage of the house is 1824 sq. ft. on both levels. (This includes however, a drive-in garage that is about 764 sq. ft.)  The house has two large bedrooms on the upper level with a full bathroom. (And kitchen, dining and living room areas.)  There is also a half bath at the bottom of the stairs for the lower level that is being used as a family room and sitting area.  Part of this ground floor level could be changed slightly to provide a third private bedroom.  In May 2021, all new baseboard heaters with thermostats were installed in all rooms.  The drive-in garage was also insulated and drywalled with heaters put in the garage part as well.  The house was recently painted throughout the 1160 sq. ft. of living area.  A new main entry door at the ground level with a side light and keyless entry system was installed in 2022.  All of the appliances are included, including a  new dishwasher.  A big wood stove in the ground floor level (downstairs) could heat the whole house if necessary.  The stonework is in place for another wood pellet or wood stove in the upper level; a new Metalbestos pipe unit would have to be installed for this second upstairs stove.  The outside has a large deck off the kitchen area door on the West side of the house and a large deck on the South side of the house as well.  A nice set of steps goes up to the decks from the parking area on the Northwest side of the house.  This offering is very nicely located with easy access to public lake frontage just about 1000 feet away.  It could be used as a comfortable year-round home or a nice family summer compound or a good summer and/or winter rental.  It is part of the Port St. James Subdivision that has a lot of common areas with trails, sandy beaches, miscellaneous parks on the shoreline North and East of the property and a beach area picnic pavilion and lot owners’ modern campground near the end of Donegal Bay Road a mile and a half to the North.  This house has a replacement cost of  $370,000.00.  It is therefore a good buy for someone at the asking price of only             $249,000
