I love being in nature, so the location of this home is absolutely perfect. It's just two blocks from the river, with easy access to miles of scenic walking and biking trails. The neighborhood has a peaceful, relaxed vibe, with beautiful trees, friendly neighbors, and a real sense of calm. Whether I'm enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the porch or heading out for a sunset walk along the river, it’s the kind of place that helps you slow down and really enjoy your surroundings.
What makes this property unique
What really makes our property stand out is the spacious backyard—it's a rare find! Surrounded by tall, mature shade trees, it feels like your own private park. There's a comfortable seating area that's perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee or an evening drink. Whether you're gathering with family or just unwinding after a day of exploring, the backyard really adds something special to your stay.
