ABOUT THIS HOME
A rare opportunity along the Wabash River. This fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath walkout ranch offers 3,557 sq. ft. of finished living space on over an acre with sweeping river views. Originally built in 1928, the 2020 renovation was complete and uncompromising - everything you see, and everything you don't, was rebuilt. New roof, all-new plumbing, 200-amp electrical, full insulation, 3-zone HVAC, tankless water heater, whole-house water filtration and softening, and Pella Architect Contemporary windows throughout. (See associated docs for a comprehensive list of improvements.) Step inside and the light stops you. The design sensibility is clean and European- warm, uncluttered, and intentional. White oak engineered flooring runs the entire main level. The kitchen features custom B&L cabinetry, Caesarstone quartz, Fisher & Paykel appliances, a pot filler, and a pantry with a garden sink and sun tube. The living room has skylights, a gas fireplace, and a 16-ft sliding door that opens to a deck with direct Wabash River views. The primary suite is a genuine retreat - dual shower heads with independent controls, a private water closet with sun tube, and motion-activated under-cabinet lighting. The walkout lower level adds a rec room, half bath, vault wine cellar, laundry, and a versatile flex room with its own HVAC zone, sink and epoxy floor. Basement flex room could be 4th bedroom, art studio, home office or epic poker room. EV ready outlet in garage. Detached 4-car garage. Buyers must be pre-approved.
