RIVERFRONT BEAUTY! This four bedroom, 3.5 bath home has been meticulously updated - it DOES NOT require flood insurance, either - and has a perfect layout for comfortable living & relaxed entertaining. You have a bright & spacious LR; stunning dine-in kitchen w/full river views, and AMAZING sunroom with adjoining deck - merging indoors & out, to a wonderful effect. [BONUS: two large en suite bedrooms - main level & upstairs - perfect for guests or extended family.] The outdoor space is GORGEOUS: set on an over 1/2-acre lot - with a well-groomed lawn, shade trees, and oh, what a backyard! There is a winding path down to a cleverly designed patio & firepit, and the huge yard meets a shallow part of the river - so wade right in, or launch your canoes & kayaks & inner tubes for some splashy adventures. There is also a 24x12 shed w/2 overhead doors + loft for your floaty toys. A LOVELY natural setting, but convenient to town & commuter access points - come and see!
