Originally built in 1861 as a one-room schoolhouse, this special property has since been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and inviting residence full of character and charm. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home features a custom kitchen with cherry cabinetry and granite countertops, a large traditional dining room with a cozy gas stove, and a spacious living room with a gas fireplace. A newer family room addition just off the kitchen provides additional living space and comfort. The layout offers flexibility with a convenient first-floor bedroom, while the second-floor primary suite includes a luxurious bathroom retreat. The finished walkout basement offers a large additional room perfect for guests, hobbies, a home office, or recreation space. Additional highlights include brilliant wood and tile floors, a beautifully manicured yard with direct water access, a two-car garage with storage and whole-house generator, plus a charming shed/bunkhouse with a small bath (not included in the home's bathroom count). This truly is a one-of-a-kind riverside property with so much to offer.
