Taking the kayaks out, fishing off the dock, lounging by the pool, a view of the river while reading a good book, hosting a family reunion, a work BBQ by the pool... would 'the possibilities are endless' be too cliche to describe this place? This beautiful, tranquil 5.17 acre setting with 500' frontage on the river is bordered to the north by the 38-acre Hidden Marsh Preserve and only minutes from restaurants and shopping. It is the perfect private reserve in a park-like setting. The 4200 sq ft home features large windows, expansive decking and patio around the river side, large rooms, and tall vaulted ceilings. A 1-year Home Warranty through America's Preferred will be provided by the sellers.
