Description
Open House Sunday 2/18/24. Lowest priced single-detached move-in condition home in the highly acclaimed Twin Valley School District. This well-maintained waterfront home exudes old-world charm updated with modern conveniences. The property offers stunning river views but does NOT require flood insurance due to the elevation above the river. The property extends across the roadway, offering 4 parking spaces, some neighbors have built garages in their parking areas. Recently updated, all the kitchen appliances are newer, and all the flooring is newer (2018), excluding the bathrooms, plus new ceiling fans in 3 rooms (2022-23). The rear roof was replaced in 2018, including new rafters and insulation to create a better slope for proper drainage. Worry-free, the submersible well pump was replaced in 2019, a new water softener was installed in 2020, plus a larger whole-house filter & water heater was installed in 2023. The upstairs bathtub and bath fixtures were replaced in 2018, plus a new matching commode in 2023. The upstairs bedroom and bathroom doors have been recently replaced with solid wood doors, however, the new door for the primary bedroom is included but not yet installed. The windows were previously replaced with vinyl-clad double-pane windows. The inviting front porch leads to a newer fiberglass craftsman door and a charming foyer. 9-foot ceilings and tall baseboard throughout the main level compliment the open staircase center hall leading to the kitchen (imagine how you can decorate for the holidays) and is flanked by the living room with newer carpet, newer paint, and a new ceiling fan, this room is open to the dining room with windows on two sides, newer carpet, newer paint, and ceiling fan (the wallpaper has been removed everywhere except the main level bathroom). The kitchen boasts an older renovation offering an island and volumes of cabinet space, plus the included newer freestanding cabinet houses a newer freezer (2022) – it’s pretty nifty. The kitchen is graced with a new Stainless Steel Whirlpool dishwasher (2023) and the Stainless Steel refrigerator (2020) is included! The kitchen door is handy for cookouts on the side porch with a patio beyond and river views. A handy main-level laundry shares space with the main-level full bathroom with a new exhaust fan. The upper hall is open to the staircase with graceful matching railing, a detail only available in a vintage home & seldom available at this price point. The large primary bedroom accesses a balcony with breathtaking views and sports a 13’ long closet, one side of the closet is outfitted with newer shelving and a hanger system, and the other side has shelves for linens or folded sweaters & jeans. The full bathroom has a newer tub, tub fixtures, and a new commode. Two other sizable bedrooms complete the upper level. Full steps access the spacious floored attic – ideal for finishing. The area is steeped in rich history, this home is showcased within a quaint enclave of homes, including the delightful Meraki Manor Restaurant, most were built when a transportation canal existed between Old River Rd & Rt.724, remnants are visible from portions of Old River Rd., which has low traffic because it meanders as it parallels Rt.724, primarily, only used by the residents on the street. Quick access to Rt.176, Rt.422, and PATP. Nearby, the residents enjoy a lengthy biking and walking trail configured on an old railroad bed with river views.
