From the moment you arrive, this beautiful custom-built two-story home welcomes you with timeless elegance and a quiet sense of retreat. Framed by stately brick pillars, a private brick fence, and professionally landscaped grounds, the curb appeal sets the tone for what lies beyond. A covered entry invites you and your guests inside, where warmth and comfort unfold effortlessly.
Step into the grand foyer, where natural light pours through picturesque windows on every level, drawing your eyes toward the peaceful beauty of the Mississippi River just beyond. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining, the main level offers expansive spaces filled with light and connection to the outdoors.
The living room is truly the heart of the home, featuring a majestic tongue-and-groove vaulted ceiling, a cozy gas fireplace, and sweeping windows that frame the ever-changing river views and lush backyard. Just beyond, a formal dining room provides the perfect setting for gatherings both intimate and grand. The kitchen is as inviting as it is functional, with tiled finishes, a charming breakfast area, and direct access to a new deck - an ideal spot to begin your morning with coffee as the river gently flows, or to unwind in the evening surrounded by nature. A mudroom and main-level laundry add everyday convenience, blending practicality with thoughtful design.
The owner's suite offers a peaceful sanctuary, complete with a private vanity area, walk-in closet, walk-in tiled shower, and a jetted tub wrapped in tile - creating a spa-like space to relax and recharge.
Upstairs, additional bedrooms and baths provide comfort and privacy, while the expansive lower level opens up a world of possibilities. With a walkout to the pool and patio, this level is designed for both relaxation and recreation - featuring a large family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a wet bar and sitting area, office space, exercise or amusement room, hobby or guest areas, and abundant storage. A second laundry area adds even more ease to daily living.
Outdoors, the experience becomes truly special. The in-ground heated pool, surrounded by a gated patio and lush landscaping, creates a private oasis for summer days. The gently sloping lot leads you down to the river's edge, where a beautiful stone patio offers a serene place to sit, reflect, and take in the sights and sounds of nature. Each season brings it own beauty - morning sunrises, glowing sunsets, and the quiet rhythm of the water.
Located along the recreational stretch of the Mighty Mississippi River, this property offers the rare ability to boat into historic downtown Anoka, where you can dock and enjoy charming shops, dining, and year-round community events or turn right into Champlin for riverfront Char Blu restaurant, year round activities, and docking area.
For those who work in the Twin Cities yet long to come home to peace and privacy, this home offers the perfect balance - just a short drive from the city, yet a world away in feel. Here, every day ends in a setting that feels like a getaway, where nature, comfort, and refined living come together in perfect harmony.
