Perfect layout for a family and another couple! High speed fiber optic internet! With plenty of sunshine and shade trees you can kick back with a book while enjoying your favorite beverage on the private waterside deck, dangle your feet in the river from the private bridge, catch a glimpse of a bald eagle or throw a line in to catch a trout or two.
What more can you ask for? The space This homes layout allows privacy for a family and another couple! Water side entrance has a living room with a cozy bedroom and a half bath.
