As you dream of your next, or first, home, the home that will create those special, unique and lifelong memories for your entire family, you dream of a move-in-ready home, meticulously maintained and truly loved, located on a quiet, non-through street and a yard truly worthy of the term “park-like”. For the past, nearly half-century, the current owners have poured their hearts and souls into this home and created those memories for their family. As they turn the page to the next chapter of their lives, they offer this wonderful opportunity for your dreams to come true. When spring finally arrives, your first impression will be a finely manicured and landscaped yard and new architecturally shingled roof (2020 – mold and hail resistant shingle). Step inside the traditional foyer that opens to the classic living room offering warm and soothing updated paint colors to welcome your guests. Moving next to the kitchen, enjoy the quality richness of solid oak, raised-panel cabinets fused with solid surface countertops. Strategically and aesthetically, the window over the kitchen sink draws natural light while also providing views of the shaded front yard. The dinette, adjacent to the kitchen, flows naturally into the main floor family room. A room soon-to-be your favorite “GO-TO” relaxation spot, the main floor family room, presents stunning views of the back yard sanctuary, a cozy wood-burning fireplace and access to the yard and private deck via the patio door. This park-like backyard abuts Rice Creek and the changing seasonal views of this natural water feature. A convenient main floor bedroom and three-quarter bath complete this main level. The upper level continues the theme of incredible views of the back yard from both generous-sized bedrooms as well as the office and full bath. And do not miss the incredible storage area accessible from the upper-level east bedroom. If your employment allows/includes working from home, the upper-level office will be a total treat – it’s one of the current owner’s favorites! The home’s lower level offers separation and privacy from the main level and would be an ideal escape for both teens and adult children with the large recreation room and half bath. The finished laundry room is both functional and inviting while the workshop offers a plethora of work or hobby options. Spic-n-span, the tandem garage (one car wide and two cars deep) is also meticulously cared for with finished walls, windows with custom blinds, floor drain, ceiling fan and electric heater. It’s not only practical for two vehicles, but truly an extension of the home and a perfect indoor overflow for those larger informal gatherings. The 10’ x 10’ backyard storage shed will also help keep the garage clean by offering an alternative location for those less-than-clean yard tools and equipment. Top rated Mounds View School District. One block to Long Lake Regional Trail. Ten minutes or less to: I-694/I-35W and MN 65 and CUB Foods. Schedule your showing and prepare your heart to first melt and then fall in love!
