Rare opportunity to own Rock River waterfront in Janesville at an exceptional price. Set on approximately .44 acres with direct river frontage, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom Victorian offers the character of an older home with the comfort and updates today’s buyers are looking for. The home has been extensively refreshed, including an updated kitchen and bathroom, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a new gravel driveway in 2026. The main-level primary bedroom provides a convenient and spacious retreat, while two additional bedrooms upstairs offer plenty of flexibility for family, guests, an office, or hobbies. The finished lower level adds even more usable space for a family room, game room, recreation area, workshop, or storage. Perfect space for entertaining guests that opens to the back patio. \ But the real star of this property is outside. The .44-acre lot gives you room to enjoy the riverfront rather than simply look at it. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the water!
