There is something special about living right on the New River—and this beautifully crafted, essentially new riverfront home puts you just steps from the water. Completed in 2025 and situated on 1.147 acres with direct river frontage, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of its remarkable setting. Inside, the craftsmanship immediately stands out. The light-filled great room is crowned by a dramatic vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling with exposed beams and centers around a gas-log fireplace with an attractive tile surround. LVP flooring flows throughout, with barn-style sliding doors adding architectural interest. The spacious kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, stainless appliances, farmhouse-style sink and generous countertop space. The primary bath features a double vanity with contemporary vessel sinks and a large tiled walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure. The two guest bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath, also featuring a double vanity with vessel sinks, along with a soaking tub. Quality and low-maintenance materials continue outside with Andersen windows, Louisiana-Pacific SmartSide siding and Sylvanix composite decking. Generous outdoor living areas provide the perfect place to relax, entertain and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river. Professionally engineered as an elevated residence for its riverfront location, the home's pull-under design provides convenient covered parking beneath the house, while an elevator makes access from ground level to the main living level easy. Step outside and walk directly from the house to your own river frontage—an increasingly hard-to-find feature that allows you to truly enjoy the New River right from your property. Located in the charming mountain community of Todd, the home is just two minutes from Todd Island Park and convenient to both Boone and West Jefferson. Railroad Grade Road is a favorite for biking and exploring the scenic New River valley, while the river itself offers endless opportunities for kayaking, tubing, fishing and relaxing by the water. Here, you can enjoy the quiet of your own riverfront retreat while still being within easy reach of everything the High Country has to offer. Offered furnished with limited exceptions, this is an opportunity to enjoy a nearly new river home without the time and expense of building. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, mountain getaway or a special place to gather with family and friends, this home offers the combination so many buyers come to the High Country looking for—quality, comfort and a true connection to the New River.
