Our home is situated two minutes from Bayshore, but feels far removed on a quiet Cul-de-sac. While every owner likes to think their home is unique, or tells a story... I promise that ours, in particular... is as unique as they come, and tells a very special story. Because while this particular home was constructed in 1974, it started to be made, literally, and figuratively... HALF A BILLION YEARS EARLIER! Unlike vinyl, brick or Lannon stone... our home is clad in Dolomite; a rare River Rock, formed here in SE WI during the Silurian Period... 450,000,000 yrs ago! Uniquely, our home was made using hundreds of tons of them. Each stone was placed in a unique mosaic... because each one is covered in fossils! The walls display thousands of differing sizes, types and outcroppings of corals, shells, and even what looks like a bird's webbed footprints! You can spend hours just walking around the house (or leftover piles of stones) and a Google Search reveals a truly amazing geologic history attributable to the Silurian Epoch of SE WI. These fossil formations are from when most of Southeastern WI was a huge freshwater sea, 450,000,000 yrs ago! As with most River Hills homes, they are each a unique design-build... ours by a locally renowned River Hills Architect circa 1974. With the unique challenge of upgrading a single family home/ natural history museum (!) we undertook the mission through integrated renovations and upgrades. To harmonize home and grounds we re-imagined the acre to the rear, regrading and adding an 800sq ft patio... a blending of uniquely beautiful stone, wood and shrubs harmonizing thoughtful design and rendered gracefully lit... featuring bespoke home office; well appointed dining room; TV/ media room; oversized 18 x 26' dedicated formal living room (perfect for client meetings... seats 15) Bonus custom-built separate multi-purpose storage room: 7×10 retrofitted with separate entry from garage. Private Well water with municipal sewer. Complete regrading of rear grounds with French drain for storm water management, 800 Sq ft custom Dry-Loc patio (50yr warranty) includes 10' diameter drained fire pit with seating for 50+, and brand new front pathway-porch. Custom- use of high end materials throughout custom-renovated interior, including gorgeous fossil River Rock fireplace. Note: Owner is negotiable to inclusion of select antique furniture, Office/ Client business furnishings/ amenities, decor, art objects, and Patio furniture/ grounds maintenance tools & equipment.
