About this home
A designated historic masterpiece nestled in the charming village of Appleton. Steps from the Mississippi River, this landmark 4+ acre estate perfectly blends timeless elegance with country living. About two acres are fully fenced with a brand-new PVC picket fence in front and a 4ft chain-link perimeter, offering a secure haven to garden, entertain, or relax in complete tranquility. The home features two distinct entryways. The first opens to a large entry connecting the double garage to the kitchen, with access to a sunroom featuring heated floors. This quiet retreat opens to a flagstone patio and hot tub ideal for morning coffee. The chef's kitchen boasts generous prep space, a sink overlooking the backyard, and fits a harvest table for eight or more. A main-floor bathroom is situated just off the adjoining hallway.The stately dining room features extra-tall windows framing 180-year-old Black Locust trees. Just off this room, the main-floor primary bedroom includes excellent built-in storage and double doors opening directly to the hot tub. Tucked behind a hidden door in the dining room is a secret staircase leading to a private fourth bedroom with custom built-ins-a truly unique guest retreat. Past the dining room, the main front door reveals a central hall. To the right is an expansive living room spanning the depth of the house, featuring impressive ceilings, large windows, and a beautiful stone fireplace.The main staircase leads to a massive second bedroom with integrated cabinetry, a brick fireplace, and a stargazing skylight. The bright third bedroom offers ample space for a growing family. This level includes a large 4-piece bathroom with an integrated laundry area. Finishing the upper floor is a front-facing den/library offering river views and housing the historic "Summerhill" photograph collection. This historically rich estate is far more than a house-it is a legacy to cherish for generations to come.
