Features

• Nice floorplan
  • "Open" concept -- kitchen, dining area, and living room
  • Walk-out basement
  • Three bedrooms on main level
  • Full bathroom upstairs (with extra door into master bedroom), and 3/4 bathroom downstairs (i.e., shower, sink, toilet)
  • Beautiful office in basement with two closets and built-in glass-doored oak shelves. (This could be a fourth bedroom, since the window is normal-sized.)
  • Nice workshop in basement
• Great lot/location
  • About 1/2 acre, heavily wooded with dozens of mature oak trees other trees (squirrel heaven!)
  • Backs up to small park with playground equipment (buffered by footpath through thick woods)
  • One mile south of Chippewa Falls, west of Highway 124; convenient location between Chippewa and Eau Claire. Takes me 11 minutes to get to the Cray DEV building, less to HRB. (Or a half hour to bike!)
  • Very quiet neighborhood with working farms nearby
  • Mostly newer houses -- I think about 80% of the houses on the block were built in the 1990's
  • In the big picture (~1 mile), the neighborhood is surrounded on the west and north by the Chippewa River, and on the south by Lake Hallie. (A half mile to the east is Highway 53, but that doesn't sound as picturesque! ;-)
  • Great area for walking, bicycling, jogging, rollerblading
• Features
  • Natural gas, cable TV
  • Dual-level deck out the sliding glass doors
  • Central Air Conditioning (heat pump)
  • Low utility bills
  • New: Carpet (1999), dishwasher (1998), exterior paint (1997), water heater (1997), interior paint (1995), well pump (1994?)
  • Purchase includes dishwasher, stove/oven, washer & dryer
  • Oak cabinets in U-shaped kitchen
• Extras
  • Bay window in living room with oak bench
  • semi-airtight woodburning fireplace surrounded by bricks in the MIDDLE of the basement (in the wall between recroom and workshop); easily heats entire house even in subzero temps if you feel like it. (Normal heating is forced air natural gas.)
  • Built-in oak loft bed and dressers in one bedroom
  • Built-in oak bookshelf in basement recroom
  • Computer network wiring from living room to office in basement (where the laser printer was kept)
  • Wired for stereo speakers from main floor amp to basement rec room, workshop, and office, with volume controls and A/B switches in the walls
• Drawbacks
  • The roof shingles are original (15 years old) -- you'll probably want to replace them in the next couple years. (We got a bid for $2200 last year.) The asking price accounts for this.

Logistics

• We moved out of the house on December 31, so you can call a realtor and stop by any time to see it, and stay as long as you like...
• Built in 1983
• Property taxes are around $1800/year
• School District: Southview Elementary, Chippewa Falls Middle & High schools

Picture Tour

	Here is an idea of the location between CF and EC. It's a great location convenient to both cities! Quiet neighborhood, but only 1.1 miles to Highway 124; 0.8 miles south of Chippewa Falls city limits.
	The kitchen is U-shaped (opening up to the dining area), with oak cupboards. Stove and brand new dishwasher are included.
	The dining area is open to both the kitchen (to the right) and the living room (to the lower left). There are sliding glass doors out to the deck, and Anderson Windows opening up to the South.
	The living area is the same large room as the dining area. In this picture you can see the open staircase and the bay windows (Anderson Windows with custom oak bench) facing South.
	One of the bedrooms has a great built-in custom-made oak bed, complete with headboard shelves and a pair of dresser sets below. The kids love this one!
	The recroom in the walk-out basement features a solid-brick wood-burning fireplace with a fresh-air intake from outside. It's actually more like a wood stove in there, surrounded on all sides by large foundation bricks in addition to the decorative bricks you see here. Also, it's in the MIDDLE of the house. The result is that you can easily heat the entire house, even at 20 degrees below zero. (I've done it many times!) (The forced-air gas furnace works fine, of course, but it's fun to get "free" heat...also, I guess this makes the house Y2K-compliant! ;-)
	The recroom also features a custom-made built-in corner oak shelf/cabinet unit
	The office features two sets of built-in oak shelves with glass covers. The previous owner was a good woodworker!
	This is one view of the basement workshop
	Another view of the basement workshop. That door in the center leads to a storage area under the stairs; the louvered door on the right is the furnace room.
	View from east-northeast
	This is the view of the garage from the south
	Steps lead from the top level of the deck (out the sliding glass doors of the dining area) down to the lower level of the deck
	Lower level of the deck is spacious and has spot for grill. Note the dog cage in the background
	Front view of the garage, with the flower garden in the foreground. My wife is having trouble parting with her flowers... :-(
	Front of house. The two windows are two of the bedrooms
	Another view of front from a little further north
	North side of house (you can see the swingset in the backyard on the right)
	South side of house. You can see the bay window in the living room if you look carefully behind the poplar tree
	View of the street. 114th Street (formerly Michael Street) is only one block long. At the north end there is a field that we use for flying kites, and a farm beyond that.
	This is a closer view of the field at the north end of the street, a couple hundred yards from the house. The kids like to go watch the tractors in the spring and fall.
