Set along the Vermilion River in the established Bendel Gardens neighborhood, this one-owner residence reflects thoughtful construction and careful stewardship. Elevated on pilings and meticulously maintained, the home has never flooded and was designed with durability in mind. The roof was replaced two years ago. The interior is notable for its scale and proportion. Twenty-two-foot ceilings crown both the principal living area and the primary bedroom, lending a sense of openness while maintaining warmth and balance. Rooms are graciously sized and arranged for a natural, comfortable flow. Marble, travertine, and wood flooring provide a timeless foundation, complemented by custom chandeliers with convenient lift systems. Storage is plentiful throughout, including three separate closets in the primary suite. The home is handicap-accessible and equipped with generator backup power. A climate-controlled garage-separate from the stated living area-offers additional flexibility and includes a substantial storage closet. Outdoor living is oriented toward the river. A generous covered rear terrace extends to additional patios and a pergola, with a gentle path leading to the water's edge. River views are enjoyed from multiple vantage points, offering a serene backdrop for daily life. Bendel Gardens is a quiet, established enclave prized for its central location near hospitals, parks, shopping, and dining. Residents enjoy walking and biking beneath mature trees, along with a strong sense of community. Riverfront owners also benefit from direct access to the Vermilion River.
