Description

Adorable home, boathouse w/living area, & not one but TWO garages on the Eagle River Chain is now up for the taking! Sitting on the quiet shores of the Wisconsin River, it screams peace & serenity while having access to all that the Chain offers within a short boat ride down the river. The 2BR/1.5BA ranch style home sits on a pancake LEVEL 1.5 acre lot & boasts 188' of sandy frontage where one can spend your days lakeside & your nights star gazing around the firepit. At 1,250 sq. ft. it features an updated kitchen w/stainless steel appliances, enclosed porch, & a toasty fireplace. The completely unfinished lower level is a blank canvas w/plenty of sq. ftg. for a future family room/additional sleeping space/hobby room. The dry boathouse is cute as a button w/an upper level living area & lower boat/toy storage. Something also worth mentioning is this parcel is zoned recreational. There is 2 detached garages one that would fit an RV. High Speed internet.
