About This Home

As of October 2025

Live your staycation every day in this beautifully appointed, quality-built ranch-style home on the West side of the Wisconsin River. Your own footbridge leads to a private island with a cantilever dock, perfect for fishing, boating, or kayaking right from your backyard. Step inside the welcoming foyer and into the front living room, featuring built-in library shelving and media space. The formal dining room draws your eye to serene river views through expansive windows. The open and spacious kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a gas cooktop, center prep island, wall ovens, abundant display cabinetry, and a dinette area with a view. The adjoining hearth room, with patio access to the deck, offers peaceful water views and frequent sightings of local wildlife. These areas all with real hardwood floors. A thoughtful main-floor layout includes a spacious, extra-deep heated attached garage, a separate laundry, and a guest bath. The main-floor bedroom wing includes three generously sized bedrooms with ample storage and walk-in closets.
