As of April 2023

Terrific 4BR/3BA house situated on a corner lot in River Ridge subdivision off Horseleg.

The UPSTAIRS (main floor) includes a large living room with attractive stone fireplace and beamed ceiling...dining room...wonderful sunroom with saltillo tile floors and floor-to-ceiling windows...a big eat-in kitchen with island including NEW stainless steel oven/microwave and dishwasher...three bedrooms (all of which are a nice size)...two baths and a laundry room. Beautiful wormy chestnut floors in the foyer, living room & dining room. An upper deck runs the length of the living room/dining room/sun room. There are lots of windows with expansive views of the property from every room. Open interior stairs lead DOWNSTAIRS to a large den with built-ins...a fourth bedroom...a full bath...and tons of storage. A second deck is located off the downstairs den. The GROUNDS are made up of a nice, big wooded lot (low maintenance) in a private setting with extensive landscaping and a neat treehouse. This is a wonderful house located in a popular, walkable, bike-rideable, know-your-neighbors subdivision.
