Property Description

Welcome to 234 Riverbend Rd, a beautifully updated property offering space, flexibility, and built-in income potential on more than 2 acres just outside the city limits with no HOA. The property includes a 4-bedroom, 3-bath main home, with a mother-in-law suite with private access (above the partially finished attached garage), and a 1 bedroom apartment above the detached 4-car tandem garage, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or rental opportunities. The 2,889 sq. ft. main home has been thoughtfully renovated and features an office, bonus room, sunlit sitting room, and a partially finished attached 2-car garage currently used as a photography studio. Vaulted ceilings, updated lighting, fresh paint, wood accents, new flooring, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace wall create a warm, inviting living space. The renovated kitchen features butcher block countertops, open shelving, a full-height tile backsplash, hood range, new sink, updated fixtures, and an expanded opening for improved flow. Outside, enjoy an 18' x 36' saltwater pool, covered front porch, rear deck, fire pit area, mature trees, vinyl-fenced backyard, and a separate wood-fenced animal pen suitable for chickens, goats, or small livestock. The renovated 506 sq. ft. apartment includes a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, private entrance, and dedicated parking. A long-term tenant currently pays $1,200 per month and would like to remain, providing immediate rental income, but is not required.
