About This Home

Perched on a picturesque hilltop within a sought-after Fox River front community, this charming ranch home offers a rare blend of elevated views and private water access. The residence features three bedrooms and one bathroom, complemented by a versatile bonus room located above the spacious two-car garage that serves as an ideal space for a home office or guest retreat. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of a designated pier, providing direct access to the river for boating and recreation. This home is a true diamond in the rough, ready for a buyer to bring their tools and creativity to restore its shine. With its prime location and exclusive community amenities, this property presents a wonderful opportunity for someone looking to put in some TLC and build instant equity in a river-access neighborhood. Seller says the designated pier slip is the first one at the end of the peninsula.
