A paver walkway leads to the dramatic timbered entrance which provides a warm welcome. Step inside to a living room with expansive river and sunset views and an inviting two-sided stone fireplace. The spacious chef's kitchen is the heart of the home and features extensive custom cabinetry, large center island and snack bar, soapstone counters, Wolf six-burner gas range, a second electric oven, Sub-Zerorefrigerator, and Sub-Zero beverage refrigerator and is convenient to the mud room and updated powder room. Adjacent to the kitchen is a beautiful "river room" with heated floors, sliders to the deck, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning river views. The wainscoted family room is a great place to relax beside the cozy fireplace, and the dining room provides wonderful space for entertaining and beautiful views of wildlife. The primary bedroom suite offers river and sunset views, sliders to deck, walk-in closet with laundry and updated bath with dual sinks, quartz counters, heated flooring, tile shower, and soaking tub. Completing the main floor are three good-sized bedrooms plus an updated full bath.

Best of all, this river home boasts fabulous outdoor features that include an 800 sq.ft. in-ground heated pool surrounded by extensive decking plus a firepit. Head down the path to the 100' of private river frontage to discover a charming "boat house" with covered porch and riverside patio. The wooded lot offers a sense of privacy, and the southwestern orientation provides beautiful sunsets over the river. The 3.5-stall attached garage has polyurea flooring, a workshop, and ample storage. The home is served by zoned heating with 2 furnaces, 2 air conditioners, and 2 hot water heaters. Quiet and convenient location near the villages of Ada, Cascade, Ada Township Park, and miles of improved walking and running trails.
