About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to your own riverfront retreat in the heart of East Dundee. This charming cottage-style home combines modern comfort with a one-of-a-kind view of the Fox River-perfect for slow mornings, sunset strolls, or watching the river roll by from your favorite chair. Step inside to a bright and airy bonus room that instantly captures your attention with panoramic river views. Whether you use it as a reading nook, creative space, or peaceful sitting room, it's the perfect spot to wind down your day. Just beyond, the cozy main living area anchors the home with warm natural light and a relaxed flow. Two first-floor bedrooms sit just off the living space-one offering stunning river views, the other currently serving as a flexible guest room and office with a view of Bartels Park. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, offering newer cabinetry, a sleek layout, and a new dishwasher added in the past year. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom feels like a private getaway-tucked away and generous in size, it easily fits a king bed, sitting area, and more. The basement, while on the shorter side, provides ample storage along with updated mechanicals, including a new washer, water heater, and main sewer line for peace of mind. Out back, a large patio and hardscape space invite you to enjoy al fresco dining, morning coffee, or summer evenings under the stars. There's no garage yet, but with a spacious corner lot, there's room to build one in the future. A shed at the rear of the yard offers bonus storage. Located just across the street from a neighborhood playground and mere steps from the Fox River and scenic riverwalk, you'll love being blocks from downtown East Dundee's restaurants, shops, weekly farmers market, and seasonal events. With easy access to the Metra and I-90, this home offers a rare blend of charm, convenience, and lifestyle by the water-ready for summer and beyond.
