Property Description
Properties like this rarely come to market. Step inside and you'll feel like you've been transported to a private lodge retreat. This unique ranch home combines the convenience of single-level living with the warmth and character of a Northwoods getaway. Rich wood ceilings, custom-crafted details, multiple gathering spaces, and a stunning fireplace create an atmosphere that's both cozy and unforgettable. Lovingly maintained by the same family since 1971, this one-of-a-kind Ottawa home offers a rare blend of rustic charm and everyday comfort. Offering 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and three separate living areas, the flexible layout provides room for entertaining, relaxing, or even creating a future 4th bedroom or expanded primary suite. The large family room addition features a fireplace and built-in dry bar, while the kitchen offers newer appliances, a walk-in pantry, and updated windows. Additional improvements include central air (2025), furnace (2018), water heater (2018), newer garage door, and driveway coating within the last two years. Outside you'll find a fully fenced backyard with a brick fire pit, two storage sheds, mature landscaping, and plenty of space to enjoy every season. Conveniently located near Starved Rock, Matthiessen, Buffalo Rock, and countless outdoor attractions, this is more than a home. It's a lifestyle and experience all its own. Schedule your private showing today; you do NOT want to miss this one.
