Property Description
Located just outside Onalaska,
W7064 County Road ZN offers a unique mix of country living, original character
and convenient access to the greater La Crosse area. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 1,364 finished square feet on
the main level, a full basement, large unfinished attic, spacious back deck and
an approximately 16’x36′ detached shed.
But the story behind the home is what makes this property
a little different.
Originally built
in the 1950s, the house
was relocated to its current
setting and remodeled in the early 2000s.
Rather than trying to turn it into something completely different, much of the
character of the original home was carried forward. Hardwood floors,
substantial wood trim, warm finishes and a mix of older and updated details
give the home the kind of feel that’s difficult to duplicate in newer
construction. Bonus the home has a brand new roof!
Character You Notice When You Walk In
The main living room is a good introduction to the home.
Hardwood floors
run beneath a large bank of windows
overlooking the property, bringing plenty of
natural light into the room. Wide wood trim surrounds the windows and doors,
while a high efficiency wood burning fireplace adds to the comfortable country
feel.
With approximately 1,364 finished
square feet all on the main level,
the home has more living space than the 2-bedroom count may
suggest.
The main floor includes
both bedrooms, the full bathroom,
living room, kitchen
and dining area, keeping the everyday living spaces
together on one level.
Throughout the home, you’ll
find details that tie back to its history. Hardwood
floors continue into the bedrooms, along with the same
wood trim found in the main living areas. Near the entry, rustic woodwork
creates a practical coat and storage area that fits naturally with the rest of
the house.
It’s not a new home trying to look old. The character
was already here.
A Kitchen
& Dining Area Made to Be Used
The kitchen
provides plenty of cabinetry and counter space with a functional layout and
additional storage throughout.
Wood cabinetry
complements the original
character of the home, while the adjoining
dining area gives you plenty
of room for everyday meals or a larger table when company comes over.
Additional built-in
cabinetry and open shelving along the dining area provide
even more storage and workspace.
From the dining
room, a sliding
door leads directly
onto the large back deck.
It’s an easy setup
for grilling, eating
outside or sitting
on the deck at the end of the day while
overlooking the backyard and surrounding countryside.
Those are the parts
of a country home that don’t always
show up on a feature
sheet but tend to
be the spaces you actually use.
Two Bedrooms
Today, With More Space Available
The home currently offers
two bedrooms and one full bathroom on the finished
main level.
Beyond the 1,364± finished
square feet, however,
there is considerably more space under
the roof.
A large
unfinished attic spans much of the upper level and currently provides
substantial storage. With open framing, wood flooring and plenty of room to work with,
it also gives
a future owner an area to
explore if additional finished space is ever needed.
The full basement adds another
level of unfinished space beneath the home. It is already stubbed for a third
bathroom and provides
room for storage,
utilities, a workshop
and other uses today, with additional potential
depending on a future owner’s plans and applicable building requirements.
A Country
Yard, Back Deck & 16’x36′
Shed
Outside, the property continues
the practical feel of the home.
A large back deck
overlooks the yard and gives you another place to spend time during the warmer months.
Mature trees around the property
help give the setting an established feel, with
enough yard for a garden, outdoor projects, a fire pit or simply some room to
enjoy being outside.
The approximately 16’x36′
detached metal shed adds useful storage away from the house.
Use it for lawn equipment, tools, recreational equipment, a workshop or the collection of things that usually
comes with country living. Between the shed, full basement and unfinished
attic, there’s considerably more storage here than you’d expect from a typical
2-bedroom home.
Country Living
Without Giving Up Onalaska
The location may be one of the property’s strongest features.
W7064 County Road
ZN gives you a country setting while keeping Onalaska, La Crosse and the
surrounding area within easy reach. Shopping, dining, healthcare, employment
and everyday necessities aren’t far away, but you still come home to your own yard, deck and shop instead of a typical neighborhood
lot.
For someone who enjoys being outside, the greater Onalaska
and La Crosse area also offers
access to the Mississippi River,
Great River State
Trail and the outdoor recreation that comes with
living in Western Wisconsin.
You can spend the afternoon biking or on the river,
come home, fire up the grill and finish the evening on your own back deck.
That’s the lifestyle
this property fits.
An Older Home With Plenty of Story Left
A lot has happened
with this house since it was first built in the 1950s.
It was moved to a new setting, placed
on a new foundation and remodeled in the early
2000s. Through that process, much of the original character remained
while the home was given another life.
Today, you have 1,364± finished square feet of comfortable main-floor living, two bedrooms, hardwood floors, warm woodwork,
a fireplace and wood stove, a large deck and a 16’x36’± shed.
You also have a full basement
already stubbed for another bathroom
and a large unfinished attic providing considerably more space
than the finished square footage tells you at first glance.
It’s a home with some history behind
it, plenty of character today
and enough room to
keep making it your own.
For someone looking for a country
home near Onalaska
that doesn’t feel like every
other house on the market,
W7064 County Road ZN is worth a closer look.
