Nestled on over 3.05 picturesque acres that backs directly up to the Root River, this beautiful home is situated in a cul-de-sac on all paved roads offers peaceful privacy just 20 minutes from downtown Rochester. The home welcomes you with an open-concept living area where a cozy gas fireplace with custom built-ins anchors the space, framing incredible, elevated views of the wooded backdrop. Flowing seamlessly from the living room, the large eat-in kitchen features excellent cabinet and counter space, a central prep island, and a separate walk-in pantry, all looking into the dining area highlighted by a custom built-in hutch. Located just steps away from the kitchen and is a massive 360-square-foot, fully insulated 3-season porch, which connects to a dedicated grill deck with steps leading down to the backyard. Down the hall from the main living space, the massive main-floor primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, looking out at the woods and boasting double walk-in closets alongside a large full bath complete with a double vanity, a walk-in tiled shower with glass surround, and a separate jetted deep tub. Nearby, the front room functions beautifully as an office or bedroom, offering beautiful French doors, a large closet, and a picturesque view of the front landscape. Before heading downstairs, you will pass the highly functional mudroom and laundry room, which are perfectly tucked away just off the garage entrance-providing immediate access to a finished and heated 3-car garage. Heading down the beautiful open staircase, the home transitions smoothly into a fully finished lower-level walkout that significantly expands your living space. This level features a large family room centered around a second gas fireplace, a dedicated billiard room, a sizeable finished storage room, a full bathroom, and two additional nice-sized bedrooms. The lower level also provides access to a massive pre-stressed garage underneath the main garage, which is fully heated and offers the ultimate year-round workshop space for tinkering on projects, storing recreational toys, or setting up a hobby shop. From the walkout, the home opens up to a beautifully landscaped backyard paradise. Here, an elegant pergola looks out over an impressive sitting area surrounding a custom paver fire pit, creating the ultimate sanctuary to relax while completely surrounded by wildlife and the serene sound of the Root River flowing in the background. Beyond this outdoor living area, the property gives you direct access to the water, allowing you to enjoy endless recreation like canoeing, kayaking, tubing, and fishing right from the banks of your own backyard. From the striking curb appeal to the unmatched riverfront acreage, this property is more than just a house-it is a rare enriching, comfort, and the beauty of nature come together in perfect harmony.
