Description

Florida River paradise! You can't get much closer to the river than this. Located just below Lemon Dam, this home has been meticulously maintained and is in excellent condition. The nearly 500 sf deck practically hangs over the Florida River which allows you to enjoy the sounds of the river rushing by while relaxing or entertaining on the deck during the warmer months. All bedrooms have windows that overlook the river, so the tranquil sounds of the river can be enjoyed from inside the home as well. The open lay-out is perfect for entertaining or large family gatherings, as is the very functional kitchen. The enormous living room features vaulted, white pine tongue and groove ceilings with wood beams, aspen paneling, and a large wood stove with stone surround. The kitchen features custom made Aspen cabinetry and a large bar top that will help accommodate all of your large dinner gatherings. The 200 sf lower level storage room/workshop is the perfect place to store your tools and toys or engage in your favorite hobby. This property is all about peace, serenity, and the beautiful Florida River. Fish until your heart is content, or simply relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river as it flows by.
