127 S River St.

No expense was spared on the beautiful restoration of this waterfront home perched high up on the banks of the Fox River. Live here in the ultimate staycation home or use as a vacation home for friends and family. The remodel maintains the century old character and charm of the original home, while including all the modern amenities. The exterior cedar siding was refurbished and painted in 2021. New roof (2023) and AC (2020). The entire home was gutted down to the studs in 2019. Ceiling heights were increased, new electric and new plumbing were added, two brand new bathrooms were created, as well as a completely new kitchen. The entire interior of the home was painted just prior to listing. The windows on the covered front porch bring in all afternoon sunshine. The open living room and dining area are anchored by the wood burning stove in the corner. The kitchen features 100 year old reclaimed barn wood which was used as cabinet faces. White Oak butcher block counters, glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances complete the modern look. A custom-built, craftsman-styled, Red Oak staircase with built-in bookshelves leads to the upper level. The entire second floor was converted from two smaller bedrooms into a sprawling, primary suite that includes a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, sitting area, walk in a closet, and a full bathroom. The bathroom includes a handmade Black Walnut vanity top with a live edge and doors again from the reclaimed barn wood. Outside, the improvements continue with a six foot privacy fence, brick paver patio, pergola, and terraced landscaping. Lastly, one of the highlights is the backyard party deck that overlooks the river. That's because the deck is attached to a 4 season room allowing for comfortable entertainment regardless of the weather or the season. The Fox River Valley offers the perfect play place from fishing and kayaking, to biking or running the trail system, or shopping among the numerous boutique stores or farmers markets. Whether you occupy the home as a retreat or choose to live here full-time, you will no doubt love the perfect blend of old and new while relaxing by amazing Fox River.
