This is a very rare home that features 9,000 plus total square feet and would cost $1.5million or more to build today. This “in-town” one plus lot 194x234 sits on a high ridge with peek-a-boo views of Portage Lake. Spacious lawns surround the residence, with a few birch and apple trees. It fronts 3 County paved roads: Royalewood Lane, Ridge and Birch Roads. Its horseshoe drive ends at the walk-up front entrance. It has 15 rooms (5 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half-baths). The real centerpiece of the home is its over 1,200 sq feet of heated indoor swimming pool play area–the pool itself is over 600 square feet. A few years ago the pool liner was re-parged, the edge/water tile was replaced, and an automatic chem level water system was installed. The pool is heated as a simple zone off the home’s water/hydronic heat system. The home was designed by Gjerstad & Associates, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, architects. H. Quandt, the builder. Built in 1969, the current owners have lovingly cared for the home. It has a poured concrete foundation; 2x6 wood stud framing, steel and brick construction; brick and wood shake exterior; double roof for extra insulation with 2017 architectural shingles. Most of the home’s windows are Pella casement windows with roll-up screens (2 new sliders on the upper deck). It has five newer mini-split air conditioning units, and a (2017) 50-gallon water heater. The seller installed a new well pump in 2024, and the previous owner the 1000 gallon septic tank (2016). Its main level has a grand interior stair, front powder room, with adjacent four rooms open to each other in great flow of space with glass sliders to pool area. The living room has a slant wood ceiling with solid beams and a handsome real stone fireplace opening to the pool area. The dining/kitchen area is a huge, bright, cheerful room with Pella windows, attractive vintage chandelier, breakfast snack bar, the kitchen at 12x19 with new cabinets, new range/oven, new refrigerator/freezer, new dishwasher, new microwave/hood, new wood flooring, and two sinks (prep and larger). The new walk-in pantry features lots of shelves. The mud/laundry room 8x12 has a large single bowl sink, washer, dryer, wall cabinet ironing board, linen closet, broom closet, and door to the back entrance. The adjacent bedroom hall starts with a metal spiral staircase down, wall of glass sliders to the pool area, and three bedrooms sharing two full bathrooms. The master bedroom is 12x23 with custom hardwood flooring, large closets, glass sliders to the pool area, dressing room, custom tile and glass shower, and a separate tub area. The pool area is 36x42 and features glass walls, custom skylight, and in-ground swimming pool 20x30. The lower level is enormous and all finished. It has a bonus office and bedroom with adjacent sauna/bathroom. The basement has a 16 foot custom wet bar.
