Property Description

Perched above the Mississippi River and wrapped in wooded privacy, this extraordinary Brownsville retreat was designed for those who believe the view should be part of the home. A dramatic wall of windows brings the river, islands and changing seasons into the soaring great room, where vaulted wood ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors and an impressive stone gas fireplace create a space that feels both grand and inviting.Designed for gathering, the expansive kitchen offers maple cabinetry, solid-surface counters, double ovens, a large island open to the living and dining areas, generous casual dining space and a separate wet bar. Just beyond, the 3/4-season porch?with its own heat and A/C?opens to two decks, including a covered river-view deck made for grilling, al fresco dinners and lingering summer evenings.The main-floor primary suite is its own escape, with vaulted ceilings, his-and-hers closet areas, beautiful Mississippi views and a private deck for morning coffee. Its completely remodeled bath features a walk-in shower, dual sinks and convenient main-floor laundry, with additional hall access. A second bedroom completes the main level, while the light-filled loft overlooking the great room offers flexible space for an office, game room or quiet retreat.Downstairs, the walkout lower level is an entertainer's dream. A second stone fireplace anchors the spacious family room, while a full kitchenette with refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, sink and two-burner cooktop makes hosting effortless. There's room for game tables, long conversations and overnight guests, plus a large bedroom and full bath.Outside, thoughtfully landscaped grounds, stone and paver walkways, retaining walls and mature woods create a private bluffside setting. Multiple decks invite you to experience the river from sunrise to sunset, while the attached insulated, heated two-car garage adds year-round convenience. A newer roof provides added peace of mind.And then there is the setting. Located along one of the Upper Mississippi River's remarkable wildlife corridors, this is a place where a telescope belongs beside the windows?watch eagles soar above the river, waterfowl gather among the islands and the seasons unfold across the Mississippi below.Private. Dramatic. Meticulously maintained. Designed for entertaining yet equally suited to quiet mornings above the river, this isn't simply a home with a view. It's a front-row seat to the Mississippi.
