Waterfront Living on the Mississippi - 835 1st Ave. 3 Bedrooms | 4 Baths (2 Full, 2 Half) | 3,091 Sq Ft. Rarely does a home combine direct river frontage, multiple levels of finished living space, and true boat access all in one property - anchored by a private detached boat house with direct access to a poured concrete boat ramp, offering effortless watercraft storage and launching. Welcome to 835 1st Ave, a fully updated waterfront home on the Mississippi River offering dramatic, unobstructed main-channel views from nearly every room. The main level features an open-concept living, kitchen, and dining space anchored by a tiled corner gas fireplace and a wall of windows framing the water. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2018 with custom Wood-Mode/Brookhaven cabinetry in a high-gloss finish, Jenn-Air built-in refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and Ethan Allen lighting. The dining area, with a built-in banquette, opens directly to the deck. A dedicated home office with French doors and a stylish powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite offers water views, a wall-mounted TV, and a spa-like en-suite bath with a marble-tiled walk-in shower, dual-sink vanity, quartz counters, and an illuminated mirror. Additional bedrooms include a coastal-themed guest suite with a built-in daybed nook and a third-floor loft-style bedroom with vaulted ceilings and river views, plus two more third-floor bedrooms and a full bath with quartz counters and marble shower/tub surround. The finished lower level offers flexible bonus space with a wet bar setup, tile flooring, and a walk-out layout - ideal for a rec room, playroom, or media space, plus a dedicated laundry room and utility/storage area. Recent updates include new triple-pane windows, new interior and front doors, all-new trim, a new fireplace, updated recessed lighting, wired smoke detectors, a whole-house Generac generator, a new furnace and A/C system, and a new hot water heater (2026). Landscaping was refreshed in 2023 and 2026. Outside, a spacious composite deck overlooks the water for dining and grilling under mature shade trees. Below, a stamped concrete patio extends the outdoor living space, with a private stairway leading past the landscaped lawn to the boat house and ramp. The property includes an attached two-car garage and abundant driveway parking, rounding out this boater's paradise. Schedule your private showing today.
