Dear Future Homeowners, When we first moved into this home, we truly believed we would stay here forever. Every improvement was made with long-term living in mind — creating a space that is comfortable, safe, and deeply connected to nature. Inside, we renovated all bathrooms and updated the water systems to ensure reliability and peace of mind. Around the house, we planted fruit trees and berry bushes, so from May through October, you can enjoy fresh fruit right from your own yard. The backyard is truly special. It opens directly to the river, featuring a new pier and a small riverbed beach — perfect for summer evenings around a campfire, fishing, or simply enjoying the sunsets. Just steps away are Moraine State Park and the Moraine Dam — ideal for walks, family gatherings, and outdoor time whenever you want, with home always just a few steps away. The neighborhood is quiet, very safe, and filled with friendly, supportive neighbors. In the summer, kids play outside while neighbors watch out for one another — it’s a true sense of community. Located in an unincorporated area, there is no HOA — no surprise fees or unnecessary restrictions. Neighbors contribute about $50/year for road maintenance and snow removal, with no hidden costs. This home offers something rare: space, nature, freedom, and a welcoming community. It has been incredibly special to our family, and we hope you will love it just as much. Warmly, Rusinov Family
