Set within a gated community along the famed Current River in Doniphan, The Riverbend Cottage captures the easy rhythm of life on one of Missouri's most cherished waterways. A solid concrete stairway leads directly down to an expansive gravel bar and the clear, flowing river - a natural gathering place for neighbors and family alike. With a community dock nearby and the ability to float right down to your own frontage and take out in front of the home, days on the Current unfold effortlessly, from jet boat rides and kayaking to long, unhurried afternoons along the water's edge.The home itself is as beautiful as its setting. A classic brick exterior is complemented by a two-car garage and an additional two-car carport, offering generous space for vehicles, river gear, and guests. Inside, you're greeted by vaulted ceilings in the living area and a wall of windows that spans nearly the entire river-facing side of the home, drawing the landscape in and filling the living spaces with light and sweeping views of the Current. Just beyond, an expansive deck stretches across the full length of the home - seamlessly connected by sliding glass doors from both the sunroom and the primary suite - creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffee, evening gatherings, and quiet moments overlooking the river.The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, high-end appliances, and double wall ovens - equally suited for quiet evenings or hosting after a day on the water. Nearby, the bright sunroom provides a peaceful retreat for reading, plants, or simply soaking in the riverfront light.With three bedrooms and two baths, the layout offers both comfort and flexibility for full-time living or a relaxing getaway. At The Riverbend Cottage, mornings begin with soft mist rising off the river, and evenings settle into glowing sunsets drifting across the water - a setting that emphasises the simple pleasure of life on the Current.
