About this property
Experience the best of Fox River living in this gorgeous, meticulously maintained riverfront home offering 60 feet of prime frontage north of the Stratton Dam and Locks with direct access to the Chain O'Lakes. Perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking panoramic river views on the calmest and widest part of the Fox River offering gorgeous views similar to lake views. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bath home located well OUT OF FLOODPLAIN combines comfort, style, and an unbeatable waterfront lifestyle. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive shoreline amenities, including a stone seawall, two private piers-one featuring a spacious sundeck-plus a waterside fire pit patio ideal for relaxing evenings along the river. Professionally designed landscaping surrounds the property, creating a picturesque setting from every angle. A new paved driveway provides ample parking for at least six vehicles, while the attached 2.5-car garage offers additional convenience. Inside, the stunning great room serves as the heart of the home, showcasing soaring beamed vaulted ceilings and a dramatic wall of glass framing spectacular river views. Just outside, a concrete patio with a new 12' x 12' gazebo creates the perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The great room flows seamlessly to the kitchen, featuring newer appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a convenient butler's pantry. The main-level primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with French doors overlooking the river, three closets, and a private bath. A welcoming foyer is complemented by a full bath and laundry area for added convenience. Upstairs, a loft with a built-in office area is accompanied by a full bath, two spacious bedrooms, and a large storage area in the third bedroom plus additional storage areas in the second bedroom. Additional highlights include public water and sewer (NO private well and septic here!), beautifully landscaped covered front porch, 11x7 shed, and pride of ownership evident throughout. Recent updates include new gazebo in 2022, hardwood floors & driveway repaved in 2023, complete exterior painted & new carpet in 2025. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence or a river front getaway, this exceptional Fox River home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy stunning views, outstanding outdoor amenities, and effortless access to one of Northern Illinois' premier boating destinations.
