ENJOY THE RIVER LIFE IN THIS 3 BR HOME WITH UNTAPPED POTENTIAL DOWN A QUIET LANE! The original house on this property flooded in the 1990's so the owners tore it down and built this home in 1993 a few feet higher, and it has never flooded. There is an upper level that is unfinished but could easily be finished into additional living space. The large garage only has a one car door, but has plenty of room for a nice size workshop, and also has an enclosed porch on the back. The home features a bow window in the living room with wood floors and paneling, an eat-in kitchen with plenty of oak cabinets, and three carpeted bedrooms. Mature trees adorn the yard leading to the river. Imagine entertaining and relaxing in your yard with a gorgeous view of the river. The well has a new motor and water tested fine, and septic has been serviced. THIS HOME IS READY FOR YOUR PERSONAL TOUCHES!
