Just minutes from campus, this riverfront property offers scenic views, city water and sewer, a partially wooded lot, and exceptional potential for customization. With many charming retro elements still intact, this home is ideal for investors, Airbnb potential, or those looking to restore it to its former glory. The main level features a spacious living room with a sunken seating area centered around a large stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The formal dining room provides beautiful views of the river, while a dedicated office includes built-in bookcases and an electric fireplace—perfect for a comfortable work-from-home space. A convenient 1/2 bath is also included on this level. The kitchen includes a center island, double oven, and an eat-in area suitable for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the home offers two generously sized bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and large walk-in closet, providing flexibility for dual primary suite options. The finished lower level includes a secondary living area, billiards/entertainment space, full bathroom, laundry area, and an additional bonus room. With sliding-door access to the backyard, this level presents an excellent opportunity for a private guest suite or expanded primary living space. The backyard offers direct river views and, with some updates and care, has the potential to be transformed into a private outdoor retreat. A strong opportunity for buyers looking to invest, renovate, or create a custom riverfront residence. Don’t miss this one.
