Remarkable Waterfront Home in Kimberly, Wisconsin

Written by Greg Drusch | Apr 28, 2020 5:00:00 AM

Cypress Homes recently finished building a truly remarkable waterfront home, located on the Fox River, in Kimberly, WI. The home is a custom version of the Edgewood model. It includes nearly 3,000 sq. ft. above grade, with another 900 sq. ft finished in the lower level. The features of this home are spectacular, both inside and out.

The exterior boasts character and charm with cultured stone, shake siding, prominent shutters, and a stunning custom-arched front door!

The home's location is equally impressive.  A lot in the Rivers Edge subdivision, the land slopes down to the Fox River giving all three levels unobstructed views of the water. 

2 Story Great Room

One of the most impressive features in our Edgewood floor plan is the 2 story great room with a huge wall of windows. This great room is visible from the both levels with a 2nd floor balcony. In addition, there is an impressive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, surrounded by built-in shelves and cabinetry.

Open-Concept Floor Plan

This home features an open concept layout between the kitchen, dining area, and great room. The huge kitchen provides plenty of cabinetry, stacked up to the 9 ft ceilings. If that wasn't enough space, there is also an extra deep pantry. A large island provides additional work space and seating. The dining area is located behind the island, near the patio doors to a deck overlooking the river.

The 2 story great room is open to the kitchen/dining area, but a large arched entryway helps define the space. You'll find a similar archway between the great room and the foyer.

Master Suite

The master bedroom is the only bedroom on the first floor. It provides plenty of space for a king size bed and furniture. The room offers its own view of the river. Also, the attached master bathroom includes a free standing tub, a tiled shower, his-and-hers vanities, and a water closet. The large walk-in closet completes this grand suite.

Other First Floor Features

We can't wait to show you the other bedrooms in this home, but before we head upstairs, we wanted to touch on a few of the other impressive spaces on the main floor. The large three car garage features tall ceilings and a separate staircase to the lower level. The entry off the garage includes a catchall and takes you into the beautiful home. From there you can access either the mudroom with built in lockers and hooks, the first floor laundry room, or the powder room. Lastly, the 2-story foyer showcases a C-shaped staircase.

2nd Floor

We already mentioned the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the impressive great room, but the 2nd level has much more to offer. There are four additional bedrooms upstairs! Two of these bedrooms were completely customized for the family moving in, down to the paint. Cypress coordinated with the homeowners for them to arrange their own custom bedroom paintings. These 2 bedrooms also include walk-in closets of their own!

Lastly, there is a large bathroom on the 2nd floor featuring double vanities, a private toilet area, and a wide linen.

Lower Level

The staircase to the lower level runs efficiently beneath the upper staircase and brings you into a lower foyer area. There is also a finished bedroom and rec room in the lower level. There is still plenty of unfinished space for storage or future finished space, including plumbing for a future lower level bathroom. The most profound feature in the lower level, however, is the walk-out; there is a large patio door that takes you within steps of the Fox River!
