Welcome to your sanctuary on the Fox River! Nestled on 1.8 acres with riparian rights, this Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired hillside ranch is a rare combination of architectural artistry and natural tranquility. With 4,642 sq. ft. of finished living space, this all-brick residence offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a 3-car garage, perfectly designed for those who value privacy, serenity, and timeless style.***From the moment you arrive, the cantilevered design, concrete driveway, and lush certified Japanese garden set the stage for a home unlike any other. ***Step inside to discover walls of windows and skylights that frame nature as living art, filling every room with sunlight and panoramic views of the Fox River.***The main level features a spacious primary suite with private deck access, a fully remodeled spa-like bathroom (2005) with a Kohler soaking tub, double shower, dual sinks, travertine stone flooring, and maple cabinetry with auto-pull features.***The chef's kitchen, also remodeled in 2005, is equipped with high-end Thermador appliances, granite counters, black maple cabinets and hardwood bamboo floors-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.***Breathtaking black oak floors installed in family room, hallway and master bedroom.***Sliding glass doors from the family room open onto a large deck, offering the perfect vantage point for morning sunrises over the river.***The lower walkout level, completely renovated between 2020-2023, provides endless versatility.
