WOW, check out the Historic Riverbend home that has lots of outdoor historic updates and interior. You will marvel over the woodwork that has been stripped back to original state, not to mention the hard wood floors through out
and main floor door are 8 ft doors. Now check out the windows, they have either been restored or replace to have the original look. The FP on main floor has had a gas insert installed. 4 BR's on 2nd floor have unique use as at different times has been a 2nd living space. So many option for use to fit your needs. The outdoors is refreshing with the open front porch on front of home and the landscaping all around the home. In the back you have a private oasis with fully fenced yard, covered patio and fire pit. To store all the outdoor items a shed with electricity. Come see all of this history and what would you want to add. This is an estate sold as is.
