If Redding was a coastal town, riverfront homes would be our oceanfront homes. The most rare and desirable location. Here you see your own personal waterfront sanctuary! Imagine waking to the gentle murmur of the Sacramento River, sunlight dappling through mature trees onto your private stretch of riverbank. This isn't just a home; it's a complete lifestyle - a rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained mid-century ranch home poised directly on the coveted banks of the river, yet sequestered in the heart of modern, urban Redding.
Step inside and be greeted by the timeless charm of clean lines, expansive windows, and a site-specific floor plan that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Picture yourself unwinding in the spacious living area, enclosed or outdoor patios, the river your constant, breathtaking backdrop. Original architectural details whisper of a bygone and more graceful era, while thoughtful updates like the jaw-dropping centrally located kitchen ensure modern comfort and convenience.
With over 100' of Redding's most exclusive and beautiful riverfront property in constant view, this 3057 sqft 3/3 home is perched upon .8 acre of private bliss. Centrally located to all services and urban amenities, you are scant minutes from all that modern Redding has to offer. The home is set up so that the spacious north wing could easily be an in-law, or ADU, with bathroom and kitchenette. Must see neighborhood overview video!
But the true magic of this property lies beyond the walls. Nature is your neighbor, and the Sacramento your playground.
