In addition, you will have a very rare access to 2 miles of greenbelt hiking and riverfront! Wow!
Our home was originally built as a 1 room stone cabin on the bluff in the 1930's, and was added on numerous times over the years so it has a lot of quirky charm! Exposed stone, walls of windows, and a funky yet fun layout. Window AC units, ceiling fans, and space heaters in each room.

This property is simply AMAZING! The house is beautiful, unique and so so cute!!! My fav was all the exposed stone. The house has EVERYTHING! You just need to bring your food and swimsuit. The river is right on the property, and it is stunning. There are several places to get in, some shallow, some deep. There is a long staircase to get down, something I did not consider with my father's mobility. Otherwise, it was perfect for the rest of us. The is a charcoal BBQ grill, outside shower, loved it. We will definitely be back.
