Welcome to life on the River! Nestled on the bank of the Fox River in the beautiful, historic Eastside of Ottawa stands this fabulous Salt Box treasure. The vibrant Downtown Ottawa, filled with restaurants, shops, bars and an impressive, new riverfront YMCA is a pleasant, short walk away. The three bedroom, two and one-half bath "one owner" home was designed in conjunction with a locally renowned architect and a reputable structural engineer thus offering beautiful, timeless architecture and quality amenities throughout. Features include wide plank pine floors throughout, nine-foot main floor ceilings with solid wood beams, Anderson windows, solid wood six panel doors, etc. The kitchen is stunning with windows surrounding the eating area which cantilevers over the river rock and gives the sensation of being suspended over the river- Amazing! Custom Amish cabinetry and a spacious center island complete the room. A private deck and a separate brick patio overlook the river and are both accessed from the kitchen. The living room is spacious and features a gas Heat N Flo fireplace. The primary suite is located on the first floor with a private bath and a walk-in closet. There is main floor laundry and an additional half bath. The second floor features two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, a full bath and an unfinished bonus room which adds potential for a fourth bedroom, office, etc. The unfinished basement is a walk-out with a door and windows to the river and offers more potential living space. The walk-out accesses a very unique covered patio sitting directly on the bedrock of the river. During construction multiple levels of concrete were built into the river rock and a boat tie-off was installed. This is such a rare opportunity to own your place on the River in beautiful Ottawa, IL!!
