Lake Ariana is visited by migrating white pelicans each year in January which truly is a spectacle to behold when they arrive. The floors in this home are phenomenal and consist of the original 1930 hardwood and have been restored to their original glory. The seller even sourced century old river-sunk logs which were hewn to perfectly match the existing floors and carried this over restoring the trim, solid wood pocket doors, and doorjambs to original condition. The living room features a custom Hearthstone gas fireplace to complete the historic feel. The heart of this home includes a "hot" kitchen as well as a "cold prep" kitchen with restored original cabinets, gas cooktop, inline water filtration system, hot water dispenser, plus a pantry for extra storage and a breakfast nook. The downstairs main bedroom suite has crown molding, a separate sitting room, 2 closets including a cedar lined walk-in, and a fully handicap accessible bathroom with shower. There is an additional guest bedroom and bathroom downstairs as well as 3 more bedrooms and an additional bathroom upstairs with more grandiose water views. Upstairs there is also a kitchenette which is currently used as a home office area and could also make for a great teenager retreat. There is also a large finished attic area with walk-in access. The laundry room houses one of the 5 onsite refrigerators and is brimming with extra storage, built-in ironing board, recessed lighting, and an abundance of counter space for your domestic chores. The apartment has its own private entrance and laundry room. This home has so much to offer and will make for a great forever home, AirB&B, or a little of both!
