The residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and nearly 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including wheelchair-accessible features for ease and comfort throughout.

The kitchen is both functional and inviting, offering leathered granite countertops (2022), a breakfast bar, and an eat-in layout positioned to capture sweeping river views. Two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and character. Step outside and the lifestyle takes center stage.
