Set at the end of a cul-de-sac and backing to protected land within the Rice Creek Watershed District, this Lino Lakes home offers a setting that combines privacy, usability, and long-term peace of mind. Rear views overlook pond and natural space rather than neighboring homes, with nearby trails adding to the outdoor experience throughout the year. Inside, the home was designed with both functionality and everyday comfort in mind. The main level features an open flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a connected layout that works well for both daily living and entertaining. A dedicated office/flex room adds additional versatility, while the mudroom just off the garage entry provides substantial storage and organization space. Upstairs, four bedrooms and the laundry room are all located on the same level, including a spacious primary suite with heated bathroom flooring and a well-designed layout built for comfort and convenience. The finished walkout lower level expands the living space even further with a fifth bedroom, additional bathroom with heated floors, media area with built-in Paradigm speakers, bar setup, and direct access to the backyard while still maintaining substantial storage space. The home also includes a long list of thoughtful improvements and features, including a heated and insulated three-car garage, full-home ethernet wiring, built-in audio system, central vacuum, irrigation system, generator backup wiring, and a dedicated hot tub hookup with electrical, water, and reinforced concrete already in place. Outside, the backyard has been further improved with a newer composite deck, recently installed fencing, and the benefit of protected land behind the property that helps preserve both the setting and views moving forward. Located near local parks, trails, schools, and major routes through Lino Lakes, this home brings together setting, layout, updates, and long-term functionality in a way that's increasingly difficult to find.
