Property Description

Come experience the RIVER VIEWS VICTORIAN-STYLE CHARM located in the heart of CB South's River Rim subdivision. As you pull up to this quintessential home, you're greeted by the white picket fence leading to the large covered porch. Your eyes are drawn to the wrap-around covered deck that starts on the side of the house and leads around the back and other side. The property is 1/2 acre and the house sits on the back ledge of the property in order to capture the captivating sights and water rushing sounds of the East River below.  You're sure to spend countless hours relaxing on the covered porch enjoying the tranquility of the river and the backdrop of the mountain vistas.

As you step inside the home, sit down and take off your boots in the adorable entryway before entering into the hallway and grand staircase. There are two en-suite bedrooms, the first conveniently located on the first floor, designed for wheelchair accessibility. The laundry room with a side door leading to the other side of the covered porch and fenced side yard, perfect for the family pet. The heated garage is off the laundry room and features a large owner's closet, perfect to store some of that outdoor gear you're sure to use. Leading toward the back of the house, there is a 3/4 bath, followed by the large kitchen with a walk-in pantry, breakfast nook, family room, and dining room area, all of which are surrounded by a massive wall of windows leading to the back porch and taking in those beautiful East River and mountain views. On the second floor, you'll find the second en-suite bedroom overlooking the river and bathroom which features double sinks, jetted tub, and a shower. You'll feel the victorian charm in the "tower" bedroom, featuring a round wall of tall windows all looking out towards the river, and a vaulted pendulum ceiling. Next door is another large bedroom, then down the hall to a full bath. Heading down the next hallway, you'll find some privacy with another 3/4 bath and oversized bedroom that looks towards the front of the house, perfect for a den, hobby room, or bunk room.
