This 3250 sq ft custom-built two-story river home is located near John’s Pocket between Richie Shoals and Cow Shoals. This area is known for its larger homes as well as, the quiet living from the existing covenant that restricts short term rentals. The boat dock was recently renovated with a new roof, widening the boat slip and even the installation of a new custom power boat lift. An outdoor living area was created to include a back rock patio to enjoy the scenic fog that rolls down the cool river while keeping you warm while using the centrally located fire pit. A large screened-in deck is also near to enjoy the view of the waterfront property from above. Need more room? The owner also purchased the adjacent lot and it will convey with the purchase of this amazing riverfront dream property. The 4/5 bedrooms, 3.5 bath, loft will currently sleep 18 people including double master bedrooms. The home includes many custom features like the perfectly positioned mud room with wader racks and a large 525 sq. ft. garage to list the obvious. All the little details were thought out in the construction of this home from the oversized bathroom upstairs to handle the crowd, to the double dishwashers located downstairs to handle the dishes. Downstairs, you will find the love of details in the new floor and cedar walls to name a few. A new HVAC system was installed recently as well to give the new lucky owner a touch of savings which also includes the encapsulation and insulation of the crawlspace. What could possibly make this and more of a perfect turn-key river home? Well…. , the owner is making this a true move in ready property by selling it fully furnished with includes but not limited to the brand new living room furniture and new furniture and bedding in all main bedrooms.
