Welcome to this exceptional Wisconsin Riverfront property offering approximately 148 feet of river frontage on a beautiful 2.095-acre lot in the city of Merrill! Rich in history and filled with character, this distinctive property was originally built in 1955 by renowned window manufacturing businessman Harry Hurd and later donated to the Holy Cross Sisters, where it served as a convent for many years. Today, this remarkable property offers approximately 4,460 total finished square feet of living space, combining timeless character, incredible space, and numerous modern updates. This impressive home features approximately 2,348 square feet on the main level which features new vinyl plank flooring in the kitchen and dinette along with new carpet throughout much of the home. A huge foyer welcomes you in from the spacious 24x28 attached garage, providing plenty of room for coats, shoes, and everyday storage. The extra-large living room is truly the centerpiece of the home, featuring large picture windows offer beautiful views overlooking the Wisconsin River, a built-in entertainment center, and a wood-burning fireplace insert with auto-start feature that is only 2 years old. The home's original character and unique history can still be appreciated throughout, while thoughtful updates have helped maintain the property for today's lifestyle. The main level also offers 3 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with two of the bedrooms featuring their own private en-suite bathrooms—a wonderful setup for owners, guests, or multigenerational living. The expansive finished lower level adds an additional 2,112 finished square feet offering plenty of space for game rooms, recreation areas, hobbies, entertaining, off-season storage, and more. A walk-out door provides convenient access to the backyard and riverfront area, making it easy to transition between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, the property features a large blacktop circle driveway leading to the front of the home. The front and backyard offer level, easily accessible spaces with no slope, while a walking path leads down to the riverfront, creating a wonderful park-like setting for outdoor entertaining, relaxing, enjoying nature, or gathering with family and friends along the water. The property also includes an additional 16x24 detached garage, offering even more room for toys, workshop space, bikes and kayaks. The home is also equipped with a brand-new boiler installed in spring 2026 and is conveniently served by city sewer and water. Located just minutes from Merrill's medical clinics, shops and restaurants, this property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy waterfront living with in-town convenience and the recreational appeal of a riverfront home. Properties with this combination of approximately 148 feet of Wisconsin River frontage, 2.095 acres, 4,460 total finished square feet, 3 main-level bedrooms, 3.5 main-level bathrooms, two private bedroom en-suites, multiple garages, extensive living space, historic character, and a convenient location rarely come available. To provide additional peace of mind, the sellers are offering buyers a 13-month UHP "Ultimate" home warranty plan and all appliances are included. If you've been searching for a truly special riverfront property with room to spread out, a fascinating history, and endless possibilities for enjoying the Wisconsin River, this one-of-a-kind Merrill property deserves your attention!
