No need to take a vacation when you live on the river! You do not want to miss the opportunity to see this move in ready, luxury 3 bedroom, 2 bath home that sits on an extra wide lot that is over a half acre and was fully renovated with high end features in 2017. Everywhere you look, you see beauty. Fall in love with the hardwood floors, beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and bathrooms that are not short of perfection. My favorite spot would have to be the family room. I'd love to get cozy on a couch by the gorgeous fireplace with stunning views of the river. This home not only has a two car garage attached, it also has a large shed and a detached one car garage. Roof is 5 years old, ac, furnace and hot water heater are only 3 years old and sump pump is brand new. Homes like this do not come around often! Do not miss your chance to live the good life on the water!
