About This Home

As of July 2025

Nestled high above the Mississippi River in Northwest Illinois, "The Point" is a breathtaking architectural statement that will captivate anyone who steps onto its grounds. This custom-built, late mid-century modern home and guest house are perched on a dramatic bluff, offering sweeping, panoramic views that stretch across two states. The primary three-bedroom home and 855-square-foot guest house are designed in distinctive octagonal shapes, maximizing the magnificent views of the river's ever-changing activity, the peaceful landscape, and the wildlife that calls this area home. Though just minutes from the charming town of Fulton, Illinois, "The Point" offers a rare sense of tranquility and seclusion. From its elevated perch, you'll find yourself immersed in nature, with sightings of deer, foxes, bald eagles, and a variety of river birds, all just outside your door. To the north, scenic parks and recreation areas line both sides of the river, enhancing the sense of natural beauty and serenity that surrounds you. Inside, the home exudes a quiet elegance, with an open, artful design that seamlessly blends comfort with a refined aesthetic. Every corner of this one-of-a-kind property invites you to unwind and enjoy its unique ambiance. Set on three acres of professionally landscaped grounds, you'll discover a peaceful walking path, a tranquil waterfall, and stone patios perfect for hosting guests or simply basking in the beauty of your surroundings. The homes' striking architecture is built to last, with a steel and wooden post-and-beam system that combines strength and beauty. Natural-cut stone adorns both the interior and exterior walls, harmonizing perfectly with the environment. A wood-burning fireplace, crafted from brass and stainless steel and imported from France, serves as a focal point of the living room. For added convenience and privacy, the property includes a three-car garage and a secure gated entry. Come experience "The Point" and see for yourself why this extraordinary property might just be your dream home.
