The entertainment hub of the home, featuring a full theater room with a large screen and surround sound, an arcade area, a bedroom, and a full bathroom — perfect for movie nights and relaxed evenings.
Main Level
This level features three bedrooms, all with king beds, and two full bathrooms, including a spa-like bathroom with a microcement soaking tub. A convenient kitchenette makes this level ideal for morning coffee, snacks, or late-night convenience. This floor also provides access to the outdoor patio, hot tub, sauna, and fire bowl area.
Upper Level
The heart of the home and its most striking architectural space. The upper level showcases reclaimed wood ceiling beams, a massive circular window framing views of the river, and a calming, light-filled atmosphere.
Here you’ll find the main chef’s kitchen, an open dining area, and a spacious living room with a sofa and pullout queen bed, centered around a fireplace. A large kitchen counter island, perfect for shared meals and gatherings, anchors the space. A hammock chair, frame TV, board games tucked into the cabinets, and a fully stocked coffee station invite slow mornings and relaxed evenings together.

Surrounded by mature trees and peaceful scenery, the outdoor spaces are designed for relaxation in every season.
