Welcome to your river cottage — a fully restored original 1852 homestead set along one of the most beautiful stretches of the Mississippi River. From the moment you approach along the paver path and step onto the gracious front porch, you’ll feel the rare sense of peace, beauty, and timelessness that defines this exceptional property. Built around the time Mark Twain was first imagining The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, this home offers a truly special connection to place and history. Thoughtfully and tastefully updated and upgraded, its authentic historic character blends seamlessly with refined, livable design. A professionally designed, tranquil color palette helps the space live large. From the renovated kitchen to the sprawling screened porch overlooking the river, to the upgraded mechanicals, everything works together to create a home that is as functional as it is captivating. Major updates include a newer furnace, central air, air purifier, water heater, water softener, 200-amp electrical service, and stainless steel appliances. And the waterfront is truly extraordinary. Set along a prized stretch of the fully navigable Mississippi River Regional Pool, this section of river offers deep water ideal for boating and recreation. The home sits well outside the flood plain for added peace of mind — with no flood insurance required. A stepped access pathway leads toward the water and awaits your future dock. Spend summer evenings boating upriver for live music and fireworks at Mississippi Crossings, or cruise into downtown Anoka for dinner and drinks in the Anoka Social District. In winter, the river transforms into a quiet sanctuary, with swans, foxes, eagles, and stunning sunsets. Rich in history, beautifully updated, and set on a premier stretch of the mighty Mississippi, this is a truly rare and unforgettable waterfront home just waiting for the next generation of loving stewardship.
