About this home
Experience the extraordinary with this one-of-a-kind, custom-built McManus estate offering over 7,000 square feet of luxury living on the banks of the majestic Mississippi River in Cordova, Illinois. Designed with timeless elegance and inspired by the relaxed sophistication of a Florida coastal retreat, this remarkable residence is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a spectacular year-round residence, an unforgettable luxury vacation home, or a multi-generational retreat, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of comfort, entertaining, and breathtaking scenery. Wake each morning to panoramic river views and spend your evenings watching spectacular sunsets over the water, with a direct view of Princeton Beach, one of the area's most popular destinations for boating and recreation. Outdoor living is simply unmatched. Relax on the expansive maintenance-free Trex deck spanning the rear of the home, entertain guests on the stunning stone patio, or enjoy your morning coffee and favorite book from the inviting Florida-style three-season porch while taking in the peaceful riverfront setting. A grand circular driveway welcomes you home, framed by two attached garages-one on each side of the residence-both featuring walk-up attic storage, workshop space, and exceptional functionality for hobbies, vehicles, or recreational equipment. Step inside and prepare to be captivated. A dramatic wall of soaring arched windows immediately showcases the breathtaking river views, filling the home with natural light and creating an unforgettable first impression. Every room has been thoughtfully designed with exceptional craftsmanship, generous proportions, and elegant architectural details. The luxurious primary suite is truly a private sanctuary, complete with its own sitting room and fireplace, spa-inspired bathroom featuring a jetted soaking tub, separate vanities, two spacious walk-in closets, and a unique spiral staircase leading directly to the walk-out lower level. The heart of the home is equally impressive, offering a beautifully appointed kitchen with abundant cabinetry and workspace, an inviting hearth room with fireplace, and a sun-filled breakfast area designed to gather family and friends. A private executive office showcases stunning custom woodwork, creating the perfect space to work from home in style. Designed with flexibility in mind, this home offers 4-5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, two laundry rooms, and two separate staircases providing seamless access to the expansive finished walk-out lower level. Downstairs, the possibilities continue with an incredible space ideal for extended family, guests, or entertaining on a grand scale. The lower level features a second full kitchen, spacious family room, game/eating area, wine room, additional bedrooms, laundry room, and a dedicated fitness room complete with a sauna that could be converted to serve as an additional bedroom or wellness suite. One of the home's most unforgettable features is its authentic Egyptian-inspired theater room-a truly immersive and worldly cinematic experience that brings luxury entertainment home with a level of character rarely found anywhere. Every detail of this remarkable riverfront estate has been thoughtfully designed to create a home that is elegant yet welcoming, grand yet comfortable. From quiet mornings overlooking the Mississippi to evenings spent entertaining family and friends, this extraordinary residence offers a lifestyle few properties can match. To top it off, luxury doesn't have to equal expensive utility bills. Two 4-ton geothermal units allow for luxury living with smart energy savings! The roof is only 4 years old!
