Cute and quaint describes this 2 bdrm, 1 bath home that has been lovingly updated. Upgrades include heat pump, windows, updated bathroom and interior/exterior paint. The wood trimmed windows and doors tie in nicely with the wooden beam and rock clad fireplace with cozy wood burning insert. Lots of windows let in natural light and the wide window ledges to the west would be a happy place for plants. A bonus den area has sliding doors leading to a covered deck area and a lower deck with handy access to firewood storage. The kitchen island ties in the open concept main living area and offers additional counter space. The primary bedroom boasts a period corner window typical for this era of home and has the clothes washer and dryer tucked into a closet making for easy laundry days. The 76'x120' fenced yard is flat and useable with a large blue spruce tree as a focal point in the back yard. A garden area, greenhouse, detached workshop/single car garage all make this a perfect property for gardeners and hobbyists alike. Enjoy the fruits of your labor from the fruit trees that include plum, pear, apple, and cherry and berries including strawberries and raspberries. Located in the quiet community of Riondel, this home is located within walking distance to the corner store and a large sandy beach at beautiful Kootenay Lake! Priced well below assessed value, this little gem is ready for its new owner to love it as much as the current owner does.
