You're getting a 5-bed, 2-bath brick house on a huge lot that backs onto the Castor River, with four-season access. It's one of Russell's original homes, so there's loads of charm: hardwood floors, a wood fireplace, that classic character. The main floor has a living room, dining room, an updated kitchen with breakfast bar, plus a family room that walks out to a big deck. Upstairs, four bedrooms share a renovated bath. The basement adds a rec room, a fifth bedroom, another full bath, and laundry with a walkout. Recent updates include new windows, furnace, A/C, and hot water tank. Heated double garage is a plus, and you've got parking for six cars. Outside, mature trees, perennials, and raised garden beds, plus a 12x26 deck with covered firepit, make the backyard a private retreat by the water. You're within walking distance to the arena (0.4 km), Saint Thomas Aquinas school (0.7 km), and Russell High School (1.2 km). This is the only active listing in the area right now, priced at $899,900. It's a rare find, riverfront and so much privacy.
