## Description

### Agent Description
Beautiful 4-bedroom Colonial home in Riverview featuring a lovely foyer with slate flooring and an open staircase. The spacious living room offers built-in window seating with storage, a fireplace, built-in shelving, and refinished hardwood floors. A formal dining room with refinished hardwood sits conveniently between the kitchen and the large family room, which includes a fireplace, new carpet, a built-in media center, abundant storage, and sliding-door access to the back deck and privacy-fenced yard. The kitchen provides ample cabinetry and generous counter space, along with a half bath nearby and access to a screened three-season room. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, including one with walk-up attic access. The primary suite features ample closet space, an ensuite bath, and refinished hardwood flooring, while two additional bedrooms are filled with natural light. A second full bathroom and a convenient second-floor laundry area add everyday functionality, and the extra-wide hallway includes built-in storage. A door over the stairs offers added safety for little ones. The basement expands the living space with a recreation area complete with a bar, perfect for entertaining and relaxing, plus a second half bath, utility room, additional laundry area, and a canning or storage room. Full of character, this charming home also showcases original doors and glass handles-offering so much space, warmth, and timeless appeal that you won't want to miss it.
