Nestled on nearly one-third of an acre in desirable Upper North Mankato, this beautifully updated rambler combines timeless design, exceptional functionality, and the feel of a nearly new home. The welcoming main level features a vaulted great room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace and filled with natural light. Three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms are thoughtfully arranged, including a private primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and en suite bath. The well-appointed kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, new granite & backsplash, a walk-in pantry, and an impressive suite of new LG appliances, including a gas range, dual-fuel oven, and armoire-style refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area opens to a stunning composite deck, creating a seamless connection to outdoor living. A convenient main-floor laundry room with new washer, dryer, and pedestals leads directly to the heated three-stall garage, while a bonus walk-up attic provides exceptional storage rarely found in homes of this style. The finished lower level offers an expansive family room ideal for entertaining, a generous fourth bedroom with walk-in closet, a full bathroom with dual-sink vanity, and two large storage rooms. Outside, the meticulously maintained backyard is truly a standout feature. Permanent landscape edging, a full sprinkler system, and extensive drip irrigation create a beautiful, low-maintenance outdoor setting perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Recent improvements throughout the home enhance both style and peace of mind, including luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, a new roof (2022), water heater (2022), composite deck (2023), updated bathroom fixtures and granite countertops in baths & laundry. Offering quality craftsmanship, extensive updates, and an outstanding location, this move-in-ready home is a rare opportunity in one of North Mankato's most sought-after neighborhoods.
