About this home
Discover a rare retreat just minutes from town and nature alike. Located only 5 minutes from Ottawa's vibrant downtown dining and shopping and 10 minutes from the trails of Starved Rock State Park, this custom-built A-frame offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern convenience on a scenic 2+ acre setting with direct Illinois River access. This 3-4 bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been lovingly maintained by its current and original owner and radiates warmth and character. The show stopping living room features a soaring 24-foot knotty pine cathedral ceiling, accented by a floor-to-ceiling Wisconsin river rock fireplace with authentic cedar split log mantle and an authentic elk horn chandelier imported from Montana. Large windows and sliding doors bathe the space with natural light and open to the wraparound deck-perfect for relaxing or entertaining with sweeping views of the property. The eat-in kitchen features hickory cabinetry, a hammered copper sink, and includes appliances, along with access to the deck for easy outdoor dining. The main level also offers two bedrooms with cherry hardwood flooring and double closets, plus a full bathroom with tub/shower combo. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a large bedroom, ample closet space, a cozy reading nook/office nook, and a luxurious bathroom featuring stone details, a jetted tub, and a separate shower. The lower level includes a large flex room and unfinished space with an egress window and rough-in for a future bathroom, allowing endless possibilities for expansion. Beyond the home, the property delivers exceptional amenities: a 40x40 outbuilding (built in 2007) with 8-inch thick concrete floors and half bathroom, a concrete pad for RV/boats, two RV hook-ups, an additional shed, an aviary, and a chicken coop. Enjoy riverfront living with a private deck overlooking the water and dock access-ideal for fishing, boating, or simply taking in the serene surroundings. With its ideal location, breathtaking natural setting, and rare combination of home, land, and amenities, this is more than just a property-it's a lifestyle....
