Property Description

Experience the rare luxury of true riverfront freedom. Nestled on a premier stretch of the Illinois River, this classic brick residence offers something the planned resort communities cannot: over 200 feet of private, unobstructed shoreline across two parcels and the liberty of your river, your rules. Whether you are seeking a primary sanctuary or a sophisticated second home, this property serves as a stunning canvas for your custom vision. The lifestyle here is defined by the water. A riverside sun porch perches at the water's edge, offering a front-row seat to both sunrises and sunsets. Inside, the spacious living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace, while the kitchen provides seamless transition to the outdoor patio --perfect for morning coffee or evening wine as the river rolls by. The main level is designed for effortless living, featuring a primary suite with an adjacent river-view office, a second bedroom, and a beautifully updated bathroom with a walk-in tile shower and convenient laundry. A standout feature of this estate is the versatile North Wing. With its own private entrance, en-suite bathroom, and kitchenette, this space is a high-value asset-perfect for a luxury short-term rental/Airbnb, related living, or a secluded professional studio. While other riverfront developments require a drive for dinner, you are located less than one mile from the vibrant shops, dining, and seasonal festivals of Washington Square and downtown Ottawa. Enjoy the best of the city and the serenity of the river, with easy access to I-80 for an effortless commute.
