Public Remarks: (Only 10 minutes from downtown) Craftsman style home is a must see to fully appreciate 7116 River Rd. OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING starts on the ROOF TOP DECK overlooking 1/2 ACRE FENCED back yard, a SPRAWLING COVERED BACK PORCH that looks out on the groomed grounds with a 30 HEAD IRRIGATION SYSTEM, a brand NEW HOT TUB is tucked away in privacy off to one side, a DINING/GRILLING AREA on the other side, and all of this is only 1/4 mile from Prospect shopping, dining and the BIKING/WALKING PATH. If you must go inside, you will find a COOKS KITCHEN with loads of GRANITE counter space, a high end GAS RANGE and a large window overlooks the expansive back yard. A bright family room is centered around a STONE FIRE PLACE and BUILT-IN BOOK SHELVES. A FULL BATH supports the first floor bedrooms and there is a half bath for guests that features an EXPOSED BRICK accent wall. Before you enter the master retreat, you will find a private den with a GLASS BLOCK FLOOR feature, plenty of room for furniture and a TV should you choose. The master is a retreat unto itself and is highlighted by two large closets and a MASTER BATH with a restored CLAW FOOT TUB, double bowl vanity, and a giant WALK-IN STEAM SHOWER. This home finishes with another full bath in the FINISHED lower level that highlights an expansive space for workout equipment, play area, or a great movie space for a growing family.
