Grounds:
This home has the best of two worlds, golf on one side and the river on the other. The rear yard is sloped down to the river. A path from the side of the house leads across the yard and down the riverbank to a beach offering easy river access for swimming and launching the canoe and kayaks. This particular river access varies from year to year, but usually there is a small beach area and no more than two feet drop into the river.
