Discover your own private riverfront retreat where comfort, tranquility, & modern updates come together in a truly exceptional setting. This beautifully maintained 2-bedroom home is nestled on an oversized waterfront homesite with mature fruit trees, ample gardening space, & stunning river views. Enjoy breathtaking scenery from the viewing deck above the oversized garage or unwind on the newly expanded back deck accessed through newer sliding glass doors. Inside, you'll find a move-in-ready interior featuring fresh paint, updated trim & wainscoting, new lighting, door hardware, & carpet throughout. Energy-efficient improvements include newer windows, upgraded insulation, & a 3 head ductless mini-split system for year-round comfort. The remodeled bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a heated jetted tub, heated tile floors, updated vanity, & new toilet. The kitchen features quality KraftMaid cabinetry with abundant pantry storage. Additional upgrades include a new Rheem water heater, freshly graveled driveway, updated electrical components, smoke & carbon monoxide detectors, and a brand-new Generac 10kW backup generator system with automatic transfer switch & propane tank for added peace of mind. Engineer certification confirms the home is not located in a flood plain, eliminating the need for flood insurance. Rarely does an opportunity arise to own an affordable private riverfront property that offers this level of care, comfort, privacy, & thoughtful improvements.
