The walk-out lower level offers a spacious recreation room, an additional bedroom, full bath with custom features and a stone chimney with a wood stove, creating a perfect space. A beautifully crafted stone patio extends from the walk-out lower level, connected by a charming stone path to a fire pit patio where you can unwind to the gentle, soothing sounds of the river. Adding to the charm is an adorable she shed—or he shed—perfect for a studio, workspace, or peaceful getaway. Outdoors, the experience is simply unmatched.
