Charming Riverfront Ranch on Nearly 2 Acres in Beaverton! Escape to serenity with this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch nestled on approximately 260 feet of Molasses River frontage in Hay Township. Situated on nearly 2 wooded acres with a peaceful walking trail along the river, this property offers the perfect blend of privacy, nature, and convenience. Step inside to find a fully renovated home featuring a new metal panel roof, new on demand water heater, updated flooring, fresh paint, new appliances, and more. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the wrap-around porch or in the bright Great Room overlooking the scenic yard and river. Store all your toys and tools in the spacious 30x40 pole barn.
