A quintessential river home, located on a special parcel in a charming, flat neighborhood in the town of Monte Rio, convenient to the Russian River and nearby restaurants. Nestled in a private setting at the end of the road sits this peaceful retreat. The property is graced with majestic trees, and a wide-open sunny area. Sliding glass doors lead from the living room and one of the bedrooms to an expansive deck. While the home holds immense potential, it has substantial deferred maintenance, and needs a new and energetic owner, who has skills and financial resources to ensure future generations the pleasure of enjoying this special spot. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a large, detached storage shed with garage-style doors.
