I've been given a brand-new beginning, and I can't wait to share it with you. Just one block from the mighty Mississippi River, I've been lovingly transformed from top to bottom so you can simply move in, unpack, and start making memories. I've traded in my tired old look for brand-new drywall, fresh paint, stylish flooring, updated wiring and plumbing in many areas, and a brand-new furnace in 2025 with freshly cleaned ducts to keep you comfortable year-round. I believe life should be easy, which is why I offer a spacious main-floor bedroom, a full bathroom, and convenient main-floor laundry. My large eat-in kitchen is where morning coffee, homemade meals, and late-night conversations come to life, while my formal dining room is ready to host holiday dinners, birthday celebrations, and game nights filled with laughter. Upstairs, I've tucked away two generously sized bedrooms, giving everyone a place to spread out-whether that's family, guests, or the perfect home office. One of my favorite features is my enclosed front porch. It's the perfect spot to kick off your shoes, hang your coat, and leave the day's worries at the door before stepping inside. Outside, I have plenty of room to dream. Plant a garden, host backyard cookouts, let the kids or pets play, or finally build that garage you've always wanted. The possibilities are as wide open as my yard. When you're ready to explore, you'll find a park, splash pad, and a friendly neighborhood bar and restaurant just a short stroll away. Better yet, I'm only one block from boat access to the legendary Mississippi River. Whether your idea of a perfect day is fishing, kayaking, boating, or simply watching the water roll by, adventure is always just around the corner. I'm more than four walls and a roof-I'm a fresh start, a place to slow down, gather together, and enjoy the lifestyle you've been searching for. (Parcel ID will change due to this only being tract #1 that is being sold. One or more photos have been virtually staged.)

I sit on leased land with an affordable $550/year land lease, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing waterfront retreat without the worries and responsibilities of traditional ownership. My location gives you direct access to the main channel with steps leading down to the water - perfect for fishing, relaxing, and enjoying everything river life has to offer - while my setting keeps you safely out of the flood zone. Inside, I'm cozy, quaint, and designed for connection. My open-concept living space allows everyone to be together, whether you're cooking, playing games, relaxing after a day on the water, or simply enjoying time with family and friends. My large screened-in deck facing the water is where you'll want to spend your mornings sipping coffee, your afternoons soaking in the view, and your evenings unwinding under the stars. I also offer practical extras, including a carport, two storage sheds across the drive, and space to park your boat so your river adventures are always ready to go. I've recently received new plumbing, and I'm ready for my next chapter with someone who appreciates simple living, peaceful surroundings, and making the most of every season. If you're looking for a place to slow down, cast a line, gather with loved ones, and enjoy the beauty of the water - I might just be the cabin you've been waiting for.
