Waterfront seclusion at its very best - surrounded by the Fox River and a navigable channel, with Chain o' Lakes access, this extraordinary property sits on two parcels encompassing three lots, offering a level of privacy and space that simply cannot be replicated. No HOA. No restrictions. Just pure river living. This lovingly kept 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, 2,028 sq ft, two-story home is move-in ready with fresh carpet, a recently stained deck, and brand new driveway. Thoughtfully expanded over the years, first as a ranch home with eat-in kitchen, then carefully extended to include a generously sized family room anchored by a classic wood burning stove and slider to an enclosed, screened-in porch. Then in 1994, an entire second story was added with two spacious bedrooms, full bath and laundry room with cabinetry and utility sink, additional storage area over the family room. The main floor owner's suite features an oversized bath with private water closet. A 2-car detached garage plus side driveway accommodates a boat, wave runners, or camper with ease. Put in your boat, kayak, paddle board or canoe directly from your neighborhood launch onto the legendary Nielsen Channel - a year-round fishing hotspot - enjoy William Nicholas Memorial Park as your peaceful view across the water. Watch cranes, eagles, herons, and turtles year round from your deck or firepit area, backing to county-owned land for added privacy that will never change. The Fox River Forest Preserve with hiking, biking, and dog-walking trails is only minutes away. Two parcels. Three lots. Zero HOA. Opportunities like this don't come twice - stop the search, this is the one!
