Some homes you walk into — this one you *feel*. Perched above the Black River on 2.62 acres in the Town of Champion, this 3-bed, 2-bath, one-level home pairs nearly 2,000 sq ft of beautifully updated living space with river views from just about every window that matters. The custom kitchen is the showpiece: rich wood cabinetry that runs wall to wall (including floor-to-ceiling pantry storage), granite countertops throughout, and an oversized island with seating for five. Stainless appliances, built in oven, a gas cooktop with stainless hood, mosaic tile backsplash, and pendant lighting finish it off. The kitchen flows right into a dining room that seats ten with ease, and on into the living room. The large addition gives you a great room with a stacked-stone fireplace, opening to the sunroom — vaulted wood ceiling, walls of windows on three sides, and a front-row seat to the water in every season. Step out onto the spacious back deck and take it all in. The primary suite is its own retreat: vaulted ceiling, and a spa-style ensuite with a double vanity and an oversized tiled walk-in shower with a built-in bench. Two more generous bedrooms, a second full bath, and a laundry room with a built-in bench and storage round out the one-level layout. And then there's the garage. The oversized detached garage is finished space — a wood shop with built-in benches and cabinetry, its own paneled bar room for gathering when the work is done, plus two vehicle bays with room for all the toys. Paved driveway, manicured lawn, and an easy drive to Carthage, Fort Drum, and Watertown. The kitchen, the views, and that shop, all in one place — it doesn't come along often. Come see it in person.
