Property Description

Sometimes opportunity comes disguised as a price reduction. This is one of those times. Acreage, privacy, and convenience come together beautifully in this custom-built home in the Town of Stettin. Nestled among mature hardwoods on 6 private acres on Wausau's desirable west side, this property offers the perfect blend of quality craftsmanship, timeless appeal, comfort, and natural beauty. From the covered wraparound porch to the panoramic countryside views, every detail was thoughtfully designed to create a home that is both welcoming and memorable. Step into the inviting foyer where you will immediately notice the one-of-a-kind reclaimed rock maple flooring from the original Wausau High North Gymnasium. More than a conversation piece, these floors are exceptionally durable and a testament to the intentional quality and character found throughout the home. Additional quality features include solid wood three panel doors, Kolbe & Kolbe windows designed for easy cleaning, crown molding, and thoughtful custom details. The living room showcases 9-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a beautiful gas fireplace accented by a vintage barn beam mantel. The gourmet kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring a large center island with prep sink, granite and butcher block countertops, soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, gas cooktop, wall oven, microwave, and abundant storage. The dining area is accented with built-in display cabinets, additional storage drawers, and a charming window seat overlooking the property. The adjoining family room is surrounded by windows, bringing the beauty of the outdoors in and providing year-round views of the woods and wildlife. This versatile space would also make an exceptional work-from-home office or study, with high-speed internet available. The main level also offers a practical mudroom/drop zone with lockers and coat closet, a tiled laundry room with Kohler sink, and a beautifully appointed powder room. Upstairs you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath featuring double Kohler sinks, custom walk-in shower, and private water closet. A Jack-and-Jill bathroom serves the additional bedrooms. The walkout lower level is finished to provide excellent space for recreation, fitness, hobbies and potential. Large windows and patio door overlook the outdoor views while ample storage and space for a future bonus room and bathroom provide flexibility for years to come. Outside, the expansive patio offers plenty of room for entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Frequent nature sightings add to the tranquil setting. The attached garage includes additional storage space for lawn and garden equipment. Originally part of a 40-acre family-owned parcel, this homesite was carefully selected and positioned to maximize privacy and capture sweeping eastern views of the surrounding countryside. The intentional placement of the driveway along the north side of the property preserves the open vista, ensuring the rolling landscape remains the focal point from sunrise through every changing season. The property offers options for a future accessory building. Whether you envision a workshop, storage, or space to support a hobby farm lifestyle, the acreage provides flexibility to make it your own. To provide added peace of mind, Sellers are offering a 13-month Ultimate Home Warranty through UHP. This exceptional property is a rare opportunity to enjoy country living without sacrificing accessibility.
