Perched above the Rock River with unobstructed panoramic views, this stunning mid-century modern home offers style, flexibility, and privacy in a serene natural setting. Directly across from protected forest preserve land, you'll enjoy peaceful surroundings that will remain untouched.  Inside, you’ll find vaulted decorative wood ceilings, cedar-lined closets, and a custom Douglas Fir rolling ladder bookshelf imported from Washington State. The home has been thoughtfully updated with new hardwood floors (2020), a remodeled primary bathroom (2025), and a charming built-in dining nook—plus a custom dining table that can stay. The main level features three bedrooms and a full bath, while the finished walkout lower level includes a fourth bedroom and bath.  The lower level also offers a full in-law suite with private entrance, full kitchen, living space, bedroom, and bath—ideal for extended family or guests.  Major updates include: new AC system (2024), automated Generac generator (2023), new well pump and reservoir (2025), and freshly stained decks. The temperature-controlled attached 2-car garage is complemented by a lower detached 2.5-stall garage with new TSR flooring. Additional upgrades: NUVO H2O softener system (2020), DuraLast roof on home and garage (2015), and new metal roofs, soffits, and fascia on outbuildings (2017).  Outdoor highlights include a multi-tiered porch, storage shed, and a charming clubhouse with built-in bunk beds. Just a short walk to Prairie View Golf Course and downtown Byron, and located in the top-rated Byron School District.  A rare opportunity to own a character-filled, river view home in an unbeatable location.
