Treat yourself to a charming vintage 1920's Cape Cod style home featuring 2-3 bedrooms and a finished attic waiting for your personal decorating touches. Relax on your charming enclosed front porch overlooking the Fox River across the street. Not only can you see the Fox River, this charmer comes with a 14' frontage parcel on the river with river rights. (2nd pin #) This home will need some elbow grease and vision to make it a perfect year-round home or weekend retreat, and there is a great potential to use the oversized backyard shed (complete with electric and lighting) as a studio, home office space, finished potting shed or wherever your imagination takes you. Already done are some windows, newer furnace and C/A, hot water heater and it appears there may be hardwood under the carpet. Please use due diligence. Design your own happy place and envision the finished attic as a primary bedroom suite, artist studio or family game room or whatever you wish, the potential is there. Fox River Grove is famous for the Norge Ski Jump and Club, and the hand-built, stone by stone, Bettendorf Castle which is now a private residence. Convenient to the Metra Commuter Train and major highways, you will find yourself ringing in the holidays by wrapping up this home and waterfront package at an unbeatable price. Sold As-Is.
