Step into this truly one-of-a-kind riverfront retreat, where every detail has been carefully curated for luxury, comfort, and effortless entertaining. Nestled on the banks of the Fox River, this home boasts stunning, unobstructed water views and deep river frontage - perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or heading out to the Chain-O-lakes for enjoyment on the water. The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen with custom cabinetry and gleaming granite counters ideally positioned between the formal dining room and a bright, casual breakfast area. Adjacent, a family room spans the river side of the house, its wall of windows framing panoramic river vistas and the wooded preserve across the water. Gather in the formal living room by the cozy fireplace or dine in style in the elegant formal dining room. Retreat to the oversized main-floor primary suite-a private sanctuary with spacious En-Suite bath and large walk-in closet. Wake up to breathtaking views of the river! Those same serene vistas greet you from two of the second-floor bedrooms and the comfortable loft, making every level of the home a front-row seat to nature's beauty. The enormous multi-purpose room offers endless possibilities: 4th bedroom, game room, home gym, guest suite or ultimate man-cave. At the waterfront, a flow through pier with a hard cover lift is ready for your tritoon pontoon. A maintenance-free deck spans the width of the house and a brick paver patio, walkway and driveway provide timeless curb appeal and easy, low maintenance living. Storage and convenience abound in the heated four-car garage, complete with wall-to-wall cabinets, a second set of washer/dryer, sink and refrigerator.
