Nothing is more relaxing and soothing than owning a home where you can watch the river drift by. Riverhouse is perched high on its plateau (never flooded) where you can view the passing fishermen or wander down the staircase to your private floating dock. You can actually view a pair of nesting Eagles right out of the picture windows in the living room. The home boasts large decks that permit dining tables, chaise lounges and a barbeque without feeling cramped. The home has a bright kitchen that offers river views and a large living room/dining room area with walls of glass and a stone fireplace for the winter months. There are ample bedrooms and baths that can accommodate a growing family or visiting guests. An in-ground pool adds that refreshingly sparkling touch that is perfect for a midnight swim. This amazing one acre property stretches to the Canal in the rear of the property where you can cycle along the towpath or be Huck Finn and play along the historic Canal. Riverhouse is the property that perfectly suits a fulltime residence or for those who need the romance of a country retreat.
