Set on the bluff above the Missouri River valley, on a quiet Vermillion cul de sac, this 5 bedroom, 3.75 bath home has been updated from top to bottom, and none of the charm got lost in the process. New flooring and fresh paint carry you room to room, the kitchen and bathrooms wear their contemporary finishes well, and the main living space is big enough for the loud holiday dinners and quiet Tuesdays alike. It's a house that understands how people actually live. A door separates the formal living room from the dining room, so the early risers and the late sleepers can share a roof in peace. Downstairs, the walkout basement opens onto a nice sized patio with a surprising amount of privacy, the kind of spot where the evening stretches out and nobody's in a hurry to go back in. But the porch and deck are the reasons you'll stay. Three seasons of the year, the porch hangs above the valley like a front-row seat free from bugs and cold fall breezes. Coffee out here tastes different. So does the end of a long day. The new open air deck waits just beyond it when the evening is so nice and you want to feel the summer breeze. Move-in ready, top to bottom, on a street where the loudest thing is the sunset. Taxes are higher as this property is not currently receiving the owner-occupied tax reduction.
