Meticulously cared for home tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the HEART of Arden Hills - Valentine Hills neighborhood. All the original character, with natural woodwork, hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and built-ins give this home lots of personality. The main floor features 3 large bedrooms, all with hardwood flooring. The living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and large picture window, and the spacious 4-season porch adds more living space. The porch, which has its own wood-burning fireplace and views of the backyard, is a cozy spot to unwind year-round.

The kitchen is also open to the dining room which can be dressed up for special occasions and is open and comfy for everyday meals. Downstairs includes additional finished space, laundry, storage, and flexibility for future expansion. There is a "toilet only bathroom" in the laundry room - easy to create a private bath if desired. Attached 2-car garage, with lots of built in storage, large back deck, concrete driveway, central air, and move-in ready condition make this one easy to settle into. The neighborhood is truly a magical place for folks of all ages. Kids can walk to the corner park and to Valentine Hills Elementary and MVHS through the neighborhood paths to both schools.
