Property Description

Perched above the banks of the Fox River, this beautifully restored century-old home blends historic character, custom craftsmanship, and waterfront living. Extensively renovated after 2019, the home was taken down to the studs while preserving its original charm. Updates include electrical, plumbing, raised ceiling heights, a redesigned kitchen, two remodeled bathrooms, new air conditioning in 2020, painted cedar siding in 2021, and a new roof in 2023. Inside, oversized windows fill the open living and dining areas with natural light, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and character. The kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry made from 100-year-old reclaimed barn wood, White Oak butcher block countertops, a glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. A custom Red Oak staircase with built-in bookshelves leads upstairs to the primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a live-edge Black Walnut vanity. A second bedroom provides additional flexibility. Outside is where this property truly shines. The nearly 250-foot-deep lot features a six-foot privacy fence, brick paver patio, pergola, and terraced landscaping leading toward the Fox River. At the water's edge, a four-season river room and party deck create the perfect place to relax and entertain. Spend your mornings enjoying coffee overlooking the river, afternoons kayaking or fishing, and evenings gathered around the fire. With nearby trails and the Fox River right in your backyard, every day offers an opportunity to escape. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a waterfront retreat, this one-of-a-kind home offers over a century of charm with the comforts of modern living.
