More space than meets the eye! This inviting Rio home offers a surprisingly open and spacious interior surrounded by mature trees for a private, tucked-away feel right in town. The expansive main living area is filled with natural light from walls of windows and anchored by a striking brick fireplace with a real wood-burning insert ($7,000 upgrade) creating a warm focal point for the open living and dining spaces. Rich wood-look flooring flows throughout much of the main level, while the flexible layout offers plenty of room to make the space your own. Outside, mature trees frame the property and provide a peaceful backdrop, while an attached lower-level garage plus a large detached garage/shop offer exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or projects. & Did you see that custom built bar in the basement? Welcome home!!!
