Property Description
Set on serene, private 10.25 acr (Parcels 0117452000 & 0117177002) along the Winnebago River, this impeccably maintained & thoughtfully updated home blends land, woods, water & modern comfort. The covered front entry (enclosed 2016) opens to a spacious foyer overlooking the backyard. The vaulted great room flows into the updated kitchen (2016) & a cozy sitting area w/ gas FP & stone surround (2016). Three patio doors lead to the wraparound deck w/ sweeping river & woodland views. The lofted family room overlooks the great room & river, enhanced by cable railings & its own private deck. Main level includes the primary suite (bath added 2016), guest bedroom & a 2nd bath remodeled 2021. Heated floors warm both main & lower levels. Off the kitchen is a large pantry/laundry combo for added convenience. The finished lower level (2018) evokes a wine-tasting retreat w/ curved archways & custom wine rack. Step out to the lower patio for peaceful river & wooded views. A family room, exercise area, 3rd bedroom, large bath w/ soaking tub & heated workshop (2016) complete the level. Outdoors features updated rock hardscaping, natural steps & raised garden beds that elevate the setting. Exterior stained 2025. Attached triple-stall garage offers excellent parking & storage. A 30×48 pole shed (2019) includes upgraded electrical, 220v, camper hookup & relocated electrical service moved from the road to beside the shed—ideal for UTVs, tools & equipment. A pristine, private riverfront paradise.
