Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated historic waterfront home on a rare double lot along the lower river. Originally built in the early 1940s, 705 Spring Beach Way is one of the first homes on the street and has been thoughtfully elevated and extensively renovated between 2022-2024 to offer the perfect blend of character and modern convenience. The home features nearly 100 feet of river frontage on a generous double lot and a completely reimagined interior filled with natural light. Expansive new windows throughout flood the home with sunlight, creating a bright, airy feel and showcasing stunning river views from multiple vantage points. The open-concept kitchen is the centerpiece, featuring a full gut renovation with Thor appliances and an impressive 16-foot island-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Additional highlights include three fully updated bathrooms, 9-foot ceilings, wood flooring, and elevated design finishes throughout. Major mechanical and system updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof, HVAC system, A/C unit, water heater, well pump, radon mitigation system, reverse osmosis system with annual maintenance, and a chlorine filtration system. The attic has also been insulated for improved efficiency. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a new deck, covered porch, refreshed pier decking, and a powered boat lift, offering added convenience for enjoying the river. Additional features include a 4-car garage, custom closet installations, invisible fence, and recent interior painting. TONS of major UPDATES. Enjoy scenic river views, nearby parks, and convenient access to Downtown Cary, Metra, shopping, dining, and highly regarded schools. Take in front-row views of Fourth of July fireworks and enjoy close proximity to the Norge Ski Club, adding to the unique lifestyle this exceptional waterfront property offers.
