Description

The view steals the show at this Wisconsin River home, where 315 feet of frontage deliver endless water scenes, peaceful mornings, and some seriously excellent fishing right from your backyard. This tri-level home is perfectly positioned to soak in the river from multiple vantage points, especially from the kitchen where the water becomes part of everyday life. Inside, there’s a fun sense of stepping back into a simpler era, with wonderfully preserved vintage character and a clean, well-kept feel that gives the home warmth and personality without sacrificing comfort. The main level features an open kitchen, dining area, and living room centered around a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space with classic Northwoods charm. Upstairs, all three bedrooms and the full bath are tucked away, including a larger bedroom with even more stunning river views. The unfinished lower level offers incredible future potential and already includes a full bath plus walkout access to the driveway and the massive 1,280-square-foot 3+ car garage - plenty of room for boats, gear, and workshop space. Just minutes from town, this property balances convenience with a true waterfront escape. And tucked into the hillside? A fascinating artisan-style well currently used as a live well for fishing, with crystal-clear water the owners have even enjoyed drinking over the years. A property full of character, recreation, and unforgettable riverfront living.

We estimate this home will sell faster than 100% nearby.
