RIVERFRONT PROPERTY! Welcome to the backwaters of the Mississippi where everyday feels like a vacation and it takes a mere few seconds to grab your fishing pole or kayak and head to the beach. Tucked away on a dead-end road, you'll find this peaceful refuge that has so much to offer - 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, with an oversized 2 car lofted garage located on nearly an acre of land overlooking approximately 96' of all year long water frontage.... Is it checking off the boxes yet? I'll continue... Walk down to the lower level to be greeted by the foyer where you'll kick off your shoes and leave the mess behind you. Once you step inside, if it wasn't evident before, it will be now, how well this home has been cared for. The lower level offers a spacious kitchen that is open to the dining room and living room. The dining room features a cozy wood burning fireplace or if you'd like to save heating costs, a woodburning stove that will keep you nice and toasty during those Midwest winters. You also have a lower level bedroom and full bathroom. Next, walk upstairs using your sturdy spiral staircase to be greeted by the large family room, 15 x 14 master bedroom and a 15 x 12 3rd bedroom. Another nice feature is a full bathroom and laundry room located on the upper level to provide ease of living. Head outside to the expansive screened in porch that is ready for sipping your favorite beverages and watching the epic sunsets over the Mighty Mississippi. If you can pull yourself from the beach or porch, you will want to spend your time in the workshop located above the garage. Need more to entice you? How about the whole home generator and multiple garden sheds with electricity located on the property. Last but not least, the home is located in front of a natural spring so the water is always flowing which creates ample wildlife watching! This home has been lovingly cared for over the years but is ready for its new owners to start their own cherished memories. Per Seller, insulated lower level garage, retaining wall 2025, HVAC 2015, newer metal siding and roof.
