Wake up to the sound of the water splashing the shore and the stunning river views from this waterfront oasis. Watch the boat cruise by from you deck and make family memories fishing, boating or just nature watching from your 45 foot private dock. In the summer, a sand bar appears in front of the house for more waterfront fun. Lovingly and tastefully updated this bright and cheery home with southern exposure, a new kitchen and gleaming hardwood floors is the perfect place to escape the hustle & bustle of daily life. The flexible floor plan, with full baths on both floors, allows the option of a first floor bedroom with 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath on the second floor. The fully insulated and heated barn with a water view, once used as a custom woodworking shop, would be a great artist studio, work shop or place to fulfill your creative dreams. Although a country setting don't be fooled; there is easy access to 95 and 495...but why would you ever want to leave!
