About This Home

As of July 2018

Enjoy your breath taking views of the river all year long. This 3 bedroom 2 bath home will make a nice cozy home with a little bit of updating. Maybe you would rather take advantage of this large river lot, with some nice shade trees, and turn it into a building site for your brand new home. Either way, you have a spectacular location with great views from your home and from your dock along the river shore.
