About this home
Newly hardscaped yard featuring a handsome stone wall & thoughtfully designed stone walkways create beautiful oasis. Inside, the home has been fully renovated w/ brand-new mini-splits, updated flooring, & a modern kitchen & baths showcasing custom tile work. One of the property’s most exceptional features is the river view, enjoyed from almost every room in the house, including stunning views from the large bay windows in the living room. Even more impressive is the private pebbled beach along the river’s edge at the rear of the property. Launch a canoe, kayak or stand-up paddleboard, or simply relax in a beach chair & enjoy the peaceful waterfront setting. Additional storage beneath the garage provides ample space for outdoor essentials such as lawn furniture, beach chairs & water sports equipment. Conveniently located just minutes from local restaurants, library, stores, bowling, church, the gym & more.
