With a private dock and sandy beach along the water's edge, every day here feels like a retreat. Thoughtfully designed to highlight the views, the main living level offers an open-concept layout with a spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a light-filled dining area, and a beautifully updated kitchen featuring Bosch stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a generous island with beverage refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The re-screened porch and freshly painted decks create seamless indoor-outdoor living--ideal for entertaining or unwinding as the sun dips below the horizon. The owner's suite impresses with vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and an updated en suite with dual sinks, walk-in shower, laundry access, and direct porch entry to a hot tub overlooking the river. The hall bathroom has been completely renovated, and the bath off bedroom four has been refreshed. Additional guest rooms and flexible spaces offer comfort and versatility, while the lower-level suite with fireplace, full bath, kitchenette, private deck, and separate entrance provides an ideal space for extended stays. Many windows have been replaced and the home has been freshly painted, enhancing both style and peace of mind. Outside, enjoy boating, fishing, and quiet mornings on your private beach as dolphins, bald eagles, and even otters make the occasional appearance. Each evening ends with a spectacular sunset over the water--an unforgettable waterfront lifestyle defined by beauty, luxury, and thoughtful updates.
