From its many large windows to its vaulted ceilings, the home’s interior is configured to maximize its majestic views of the river. The spacious screened-in porch with its stone fireplace is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The home office and private master suite also embrace the serene river views.
