Experience this hidden river gem on the banks of the Kankakee River. Situated on just over one acre, this 4-bed, 2 full bath waterfront property features a massive kitchen, banks of expansive windows for nature and birdwatching, a full-length front porch, and second-story back deck perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine. And when you want to get outside, it's just steps to your own private beach. As a primary residence or weekend retreat, activities are endless: fish or hunt out your back door, drive or bike the scenic river road into historic downtown Momence, or hop in a kayak or tube at Island Park and float home. Located at the end of a private road, this property offers privacy and peace of mind rarely found in waterfront properties, but is just minutes to Momence or I-57. Recent renovations added a second-floor dormer for expanded living space, as well as an over-sized heated 2.5 car garage with attached workshop on separate electric (see floorplan image). The garage's workshop and the three renovated sheds offer all the room you could want for toys and projects. Other amenities include: stainless steel appliances (2021), wood burning stove, hardwood floors, whole house water filtration system (2022), fenced garden, apple tree, fruit bushes, and native plantings, chicken coop and run, and newer HVAC and pump (2017). Maintenance HOA is just $150/yr for road maintenance and plowing. Come see what riverfront living has to offer!
