About this home

Public Remarks: Upper Gardens home completely renovated! Totally updated kitchen and bathrooms with high-end finishes. Refinished real hardwood floors and added wood floors to the rest of the home. New stainless kitchen appliances to go with the new granite counters, Main bath is granite too with ceramic SOT. Brand new central air unit and complete tear-off new roof. There are good bones with the 4BR, 2BA, and a great location. You are only 4 mins away from Fontana beach, boat launch, and the lakefront commercial area. You are only 10 mins away from I43, and shorter yet if you want to be close to Williams Bay. The lot is heavily wooded, but you are still part of the Village with sewer and water.

Public Remarks

Attention flippers - the assessed value of this home is $278.000, so that is leaving $103,000 on the table for renovations! You can update the fireplace, the kitchen, the bathrooms, sand and seal the real hardwood floors, convert the great room back to a garage - the possibilities are endless. There are good bones with the 4BR, 2BA, and a great location. You are only 4 mins away from Fontana beach, boat launch, and the lakefront commercial area. You are only 10 mins away from I43, and shorter yet if you want to be close to Williams Bay. Brand new central air unit, a partial roof replacement in the last 3 years, and there was another area that was replaced 7 years ago. The lot is heavily wooded, but you are still part of the Village with sewer and water. Must have appointment for showings.
