With 4bd, 3.5ba, and 2,873 sqft. of space, this home is filled with natural light. Expansive picture windows flank the back of the house and showcase the STUNNING river views. Enjoy trout fishing right from your backyard, or simply relax in the beauty of the setting while making s'mores at the fire pit. The attractive kitchen with cherry cabinetry and 3 large picture windows overlooks the property and provides some of the best inside views. The living room with an elegant, wood-burning fireplace, a primary suite, and the laundry room are also found on the 1st floor. Designed for multigenerational living, this flexible floor plan also includes a guest studio with its own entrance and full bath. Upstairs, you'll find 3 bedrooms and another full bath. This floor was formally used as an in-law space and features the largest of the 4 bedrooms that could easily be reimagined into an exceptional 2nd floor primary suite. The basement is highlighted by a Cedar closet and a finished room ideal as a gym or wine cellar. The beautiful post-and-beam construction, 3-car garage (with a 2nd floor loft!) will knock your socks off. This barn could house all your grown up toys! The seamless indoor-outdoor living at this unique property make it a rare opportunity for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both comfort and character. Not one to miss. Really special!
