The finished basement offers incredible versatility, including a private in-law arrangement with a bedroom, full bathroom, and direct access to the backyard and creek. An oven hookup allows for a potential kitchenette, creating an ideal setup for extended living or guest accommodations.

This home has been meticulously maintained with major system updates already completed, including a brand new washer and dryer and high efficiency water heater in 2022, well pump, pressure tank, and softener in 2023, and a new roof, gutters, and portions of the HVAC system updated in 2024. The well was inspected within the past two years in conjunction with the hot tub permit, providing added peace of mind. Step outside to your own private retreat. A spacious deck overlooks the expansive backyard and tranquil creek, with partial deck replacements completed between 2020 and 2024. Enjoy year-round outdoor living with a wonderful hot tub and gazebo, perfect for relaxing or entertaining in every season. Stairs leading down to the river access have been newly replaced in 2025, offering easy access to the water. A large shed provides ample storage for tools and outdoor equipment.
