## Description

### Agent Description
Experience exceptional waterfront living on 1.9 beautifully landscaped acres with 215 feet of frontage along the Paint River, a designated part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This turn-key distinctive brick 1 1/2-story home offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and thoughtfully updated amenities. Inside, you'll find soaring vaulted ceilings, rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, granite countertops, custom maple cabinetry, and abundant natural light throughout. The spacious living room features a freestanding wood-burning stove and expansive windows and patio doors that showcase stunning views of the river, deck, and manicured grounds. The main-floor primary suite provides convenient single-level living with a private bathroom and integrated laundry area. Upstairs, a loft-style second bedroom and full bath offer excellent guest accommodations, complete with a separate entrance for added flexibility and privacy. A large bonus room with available-electric in-floor heat provides additional living, recreation, or workspace options and leads directly to the attached two-car garage. Numerous recent improvements enhance both comfort and efficiency, including a new central air conditioning system, new furnace, on-demand hot water heater, refrigerator, gas stove, custom wood cabinetry, custom pantry, and a beautifully remodeled master shower. Additional upgrades include replacement of all four eave windows, four new dining room windows, two new kitchen windows, rebuilt garage doors, upgraded electrical service with a new 100-amp subpanel, new island circuits, a new Tuff Shed, new front porch gazebo, and a new garbage disposal. The property's forested setting has been carefully managed through selective tree cutting to improve both the river views and the overall health of the woodland. Whether enjoying morning coffee on the deck, entertaining guests, or simply taking in the peaceful sights and sounds of the river, this property offers a truly exceptional Northwoods lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained waterfront retreat in one of Michigan's most scenic and protected river corridors.
