Trout Fishing Property

Bring the fly rod, golf club and snow skis too!

Here's a great weekend get away place or it could be perfect for a year round home. Sited on 1/2 acre, has frontage bordering the Coon Creek trout stream.

This move-in ready little cottage. It features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, an efficient galley style kitchen and a living room with a wood burning fireplace.

You will also get a lot of enjoyment from the the 4 season room and the screened in porch where you can sit with family and friends to take in the beautiful views over looking the stream and the valley. Just hop over the fence to the trout stream and cast your line. Also, if there's any golfers or skiers in the bunch... then the proximity to Timber Coulee Golf Course and Ski Hill is a real plus, it is less than 1 mile away.

Free Lunch!

Mary Strang ~ Viroqua, WI Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Viroqua, WI

A special Thank You again to WCCU Credit Union. For last Thursday, hosting a tasty free luncheon for all the local Realtors in our Southwestern Wisconsin market place. The location of the event was at their Westby facility, in the lower conference area. Even with a slower market our local credit union has always been upbeat, friendly and willing to go out after our customer referrals. The meal included charcoal grilled burgers, steak, and a selection of salads deliciously prepared by their own Loan Department Staff!

Now that's Lending News!

Upon arrival, we were asked to write our names on slips of paper, for an impromptu drawing for a dinner gift card. And the winner was Dave Reed over at Oakwood Realty. FYI Dave, Linda drew your name, lucky guy!

Open House Sunday, 10/12/08 12 Noon to 1:30 P.M.

A grand home with all the charm of yesteryear with modern updates! Just viewing the architecture of this beautiful Victorian home with the two levels of wrap around porches surrounded by mature trees and beautiful gardens is like looking at a perfect picture postcard. The setting lends itself the peaceful gardening and birding on this double city lot. What makes this special is that it can also be a busy family yard with lots of room for family football games or campfires. Located almost in the center of Westby but away from traffic noises makes it within walking distance to schools, churches, the library, shopping, parks, the pool during the summer or even a treat at Ole & Lena's!

A carriage house adds to the charm and has the possibility to be put to several different uses depending on the owner's requirements. The newer two car garage with electric openers has access from the back alley. The shady patio off the back porch and deck (deck is wired for a hot tub) are great places to relax during long summer days while enjoying watching the garden grow! The gardens include a raised strawberry bed, flower gardens, shady gardens, plus the mandatory vegetable and herb gardens. There are also fruit trees on the property.

With original oak woodwork through out, an open staircase, a beautiful stained glass window in the living room and an oversized dining room with a leaded glass the classic charm is still visible. In the dining room you'll find the original built in china cabinet. Adding to the charm are pocket doors, one set separating the dining and living areas and another single oversized door from the large entry to the living room.

The kitchen has lots of cabinets and counter space plus a sitting area with a gas fireplace. The sitting area makes for a cozy spot for sharing time with a friend, looking over cookbooks, or just quietly relaxing after a long day.

The main floor also features a room off the entry just right for a home office or study space. Originally used as Dr. Schee's office it features built in bookcases.

With three large bedrooms on the second floor plus one a little smaller (which could be used as a guest bedroom or even an entry to the upper wrap around porch) there is lots of room for everyone. The possibilities are endless for the third floor. With a full staircase leading to it and lots of headroom, it could become a grand master suite, a child's dream play area, a teen's spot for video games or a family gathering place for a home theatre or a spot for the pool table or a mix of uses.

If you're looking for a home with character plus easy in town living this is the place.
