This exceptional custom home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and approximately 4, 018 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space. The heart of the home is a huge gourmet kitchen / living / dining great room, perfectly positioned to capture the views with a stunning wall of windows overlooking the river. Step outside to the expansive back porch and take in the peaceful scenery-this is the kind of view that never gets old. Guests will feel right at home in the separate guest house, complete with 1 bedroom, living room, kitchen, and laundry room-ideal for extended family, visitors, or flexible lifestyle needs. For those who need room to store, build, or tinker, the property includes a massive 3, 000+ sq ft storeroom and workshop, plus a three-car carport with RV-height clearance.

And here's a rare feature you don't see every day: the home includes a full basement the size of the home, with an elevator and a staircase providing convenient access-perfect for storage, workspace, storm shelter use, or future creative expansion. There is some deferred maintenance on the structures and the basement is only partially finished. A bit of TLC is needed to restore this property to its original grandeur.
