Sitting high above the bluffs of the Missouri River, you will experience the same thrill of nature that Lewis & Clark did when they traversed this very land. Eagles hunt the river and gather in the trees on this property; foxes run the shoreline; deer and migrating geese are daily attractions. Enjoy the view from inside this gracious home through the expansive windows; or from the private balcony off the master bedroom suite. This is one of only a very few properties on the bluffs that has a spacious lawn area as well as a flat surface half way down to the river where you can rest around the fire pit and enjoy nature before heading down the lighted stairway to the 140 feet of river frontage and your own private boat dock.

Property Description
You’ve heard it said that from small beginnings come great things. That quote has come to life at 605 Riverside Dr. This grand and gracious 4,000+ sq.ft. home started out as a 1914 Sears house with a much smaller footprint. The formal entry, mahogany stairs complete with gold cupid light on the newel post, stained glass windows, wide baseboard trim, and coved ceilings are all there. The pine floors still have the Sears stamp on the underside. However, it has grown. Successive owners have enlarged the original footprint, holding true to its original integrity. The present owners have put the finishing touches on with an enlarged garage, reconfigured second floor and spacious master suite complete with private balcony on which to sit and relax while the eagles soar the Missouri River right in front of your eyes. Excellent craftsmen were engaged to match new millwork with the old, replace what had been lost over the years, and turn this small beginning into a splendid finish. If you weren’t told where the old stopped and the new began, you would think it was built as it now stands. This is the perfect property for entertaining: spacious rooms, remodeled kitchen with natural cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, a 12’ island, river views and river access. This home is sophisticated yet comfortable, family friendly, and solid -- no cracks or separating. Make this house your home and enjoy true elegance in a natural setting.
