The expansive living and dining area is rich with character, featuring beautiful hardwood flooring, exposed beams, custom built-ins, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with Moravian tile accents. French doors lead to the inviting family room with soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and access to the truly remarkable, one-of-a-kind kitchen that is sure to impress.

The bright and airy sunroom offers additional living space with an abundance of windows and direct access to the basement via a private staircase. A convenient powder room completes the main level. As you make your way upstairs, take note of the artistically tiled stair risers that add a colorful and unique touch. The upper level hosts three generously sized bedrooms, all featuring hardwood flooring, abundant closet space, and timeless charm. The oversized primary bedroom is highlighted by private access to its own balcony overlooking the picturesque surroundings. A full tiled bath with radiant flooring and a conveniently located laundry room complete the second floor. Outside, a detached two-car garage includes an integrated studio currently used as an art space but easily adaptable as a workshop, home office, fitness area, or other flex space to suit your needs. Nature lovers will appreciate the peaceful outdoor setting, complete with mature landscaping, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking river views enjoyed from the expansive front porch. The total 0.74-acre property includes both the parcel containing the home and detached garage WITH mechanics pit as well as the parcel directly across River Road, providing valuable direct water access.
