Listing broker remarks

Built in 2017 and set on 2.33 private, wooded acres with a stream, trout hatchery, and river views, this home lives bigger than the numbers suggest. The main level opens into a cathedral-ceilinged living room with a fireplace, hardwood floors, and direct deck access, flowing into a kitchen with granite counters, a gas range, and a real dining area built for hosting. Upstairs offers two bedrooms including a main with its own full bath, plus dedicated laundry. The finished walk-out lower level is the difference-maker: a wide-open family room and full bath that works as a den, guest space, or in-law setup, with a full unfinished basement below for storage and mechanicals. Central air, 200-amp service, generator hookup, hot tub, and a passing Title 5. Woods, water, and space, 10 minutes from town but a world away. The lot is being reconfigured through a pending subdivision, so final lot lines, driveway, and yard will be defined before closing. Seller must find suitable housing— Keller Williams Elite
