The heart of the home is the picturesque kitchen where luxurious amenities, such as the gas range, granite counters and marble backsplash, blend seamlessly with a vintage farm-style sink. The custom-built banquette is the heart of the adjoining breakfast room, which is full of soft sunlight and European charm. It is the ideal spot for slow mornings or casual gatherings.
The main level also features a comfortably-sized bedroom as well as a full bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms feature double closets and a renovated full bathroom. The unfinished basement offers ample storage, both interior and exterior entries, as well as a laundry area, a dog-washing tub, and a partial bath!

The homeowner has lovingly crafted a ramp, allowing pets to easily climb to the fenced yard.
This home is perched on a hill overlooking the river, allowing you to enjoy the view without worrying about the risk of floods! A public walking trail runs alongside the river, offering a peaceful place to walk and unwind at the end of a long day.
