Nestled in a quiet Merrill neighborhood, this well-maintained ranch offers privacy, space, incredible natural light, and a setting that is becoming increasingly hard to find. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal makes an impression. A large, double horseshoe-shaped asphalt driveway provides abundant parking and leads to the attached 2-stall garage, complete with custom built-in cabinetry and Wi-Fi-enabled garage door openers. The beautifully maintained Lannon stone exterior is complemented by fresh landscaping and mature surroundings. The backyard is where this property really begins to shine. A partially fenced yard provides plenty of room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the expansive views of the Wisconsin River. A detached storage shed offers convenient space for kayaks, bikes, fishing gear, and seasonal items, while a well-maintained path beside the shed provides easy access to the river. Inside, the home’s mid-century-modern influence is showcased by five stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a dramatic wall of glass with panoramic Wisconsin River views and an abundance of natural light. The spacious living room features direct access to the backyard, a large built-in entertainment center with bookshelves, and a beautifully updated Lannon stone fireplace complete with a unique built-in succulent bed. The main level offers a comfortable and flexible layout with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including two bedrooms with their own private full baths. Updated lighting throughout adds a fresh, modern touch, while beautiful green slate flooring brings both character and durability to the main living spaces. The kitchen underwent a complete remodel in 2024 and combines style, function, and thoughtful custom details. Features include locally sourced maple butcher-block countertops and shelving, custom locally made emerald cabinetry with soft-close doors, a large farmhouse sink, abundant counter space, a hidden coffee nook, and cleverly concealed garbage storage. A large pantry provides additional storage, while the galley-style design keeps everything within easy reach. The lower level adds significant versatility with a comfortable finished family room, perfect for movie nights, game days, hobbies, or additional gathering space. A second family room with fireplace, four bonus rooms, an updated bathroom, and laundry room provide an abundance of options for guests, recreation, office space, storage, or whatever your lifestyle demands. Numerous updates provide peace of mind, including a new boiler installed in 2026, updated kitchen electrical in 2024, new flooring throughout the main level and in most of the basement, and an updated lower-level bathroom. The home is serviced by city water and septic, and a point-of-use reverse osmosis system in the kitchen adds another layer of everyday convenience. With its striking river views, expansive 2-acre setting, Lannon stone exterior, distinctive mid-century-modern details, extensive updates, and highly flexible living space, this is far more than just another ranch home. It’s a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind property that combines character, privacy, functionality, and the beauty of the Wisconsin River—all in one remarkable Merrill location.
