Mid-Century Modern Home with Stunning River Views and Thoughtful Updates!
This beautifully updated mid-century modern home offers timeless architectural character with modern touches throughout. Set on over half an acre of mature, tree-filled landscape, this property boasts panoramic views of the Mississippi River.
The main floor features a spacious primary owner's suite and multiple inviting living areas. A vaulted-ceiling living room is accented with striking wood beams, while a cozy sitting area with a large bay window opens to a side deck—perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings.
The updated kitchen will make all your culinary adventures enjoyable with multiple granite islands, alder cabinetry, stylish backsplash, and newer appliances. A light-filled dining area, framed by skylights, offers spectacular river views—ideal for enjoying both blue skies and starry nights.
Step out to a large screened-in porch, where the sounds of the river and views of the natural surroundings create a peaceful retreat. The outdoor living continues with a mid-yard platform deck and an additional bluff-top deck to fully take in sunset views.
Architectural highlights include a curved open staircase, expansive windows that flood the home with natural light, and custom built-in storage throughout.
The lower level offers even more living space with two defined living areas, three sleeping quarters, and walk-out access to another screened-in covered patio—perfect for year-round enjoyment.
This one-of-a-kind home blends classic mid-century design with modern comfort, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Mississippi River. A rare gem offering serenity, space, and style.
