Welcome to 77 Mill Street, a charming 2 storey detached home on a 96' x 200' treed lot backing onto the Castor River with four-season river access, right in the heart of Russell. One of the few remaining original homes in the village, this property offers a unique combination of character, space, privacy and convenience. Offering approximately 2,200 sq. ft. of finished living space across three levels, the home features 4+1 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The main level includes a welcoming living room with gas fireplace, ideal as a home office, a spacious family/dining room, updated kitchen with breakfast-bar island (2018), and convenient mudroom with separate entrance. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a renovated full bathroom (2024). The finished lower level offers a recreation room, fifth bedroom, full bathroom, laundry and walkout to the backyard. Additional third-floor space provides excellent storage and potential for a future loft, studio or bedroom (buyer to verify), with closed-cell insulation added to the loft in 2013. Outside, enjoy a private green retreat with mature trees, perennial gardens, raised garden beds, a 12' x 26' elevated rear deck (2016), plus a patio and covered firepit added in 2025, all with the Castor River as your backdrop. The heated and insulated double garage (2006), two driveways, garden shed and ample parking add everyday practicality. Other notable updates include new windows (2023/2024), along with updates to the furnace, A/C, hot water tank and electrical. The location is equally impressive, within walking distance of three elementary schools, two high schools, a Montessori school, pharmacy, bank, grocery store and medical clinic, with biking trails and Russell's recreational trail network close by. A rare combination of a peaceful riverfront setting, abundant green space and exceptional walkability in the heart of Russell. Not to be missed!
