Rare find: meticulously maintained rambler on nearly half an acre in a quiet Maplewood neighborhood. This 2BR/1BA home has been thoughtfully cared for by one owner for 25 years. Features include refinished hardwood floors, a bright and spacious kitchen ideal for cooking, living room with deck access, and a heated knotty-pine four-season porch. The 0.48-acre lot is intentionally planted with established fruit trees and berry bushes, along with a wide variety of edible plants integrated throughout the landscape-creating a productive and well-tended outdoor space. Property includes detached garage, storage shed, deck, and paver walkways. Major updates: 2022 architectural-shingle roof (transferable workmanship warranty), 2019 furnace, 2016 water heater, and comprehensive insulation/air sealing completed in 2025. Partial unfinished basement with laundry, utilities, and both interior and exterior access. Ideally located near Lake Phalen and an extensive trail network, including the Gateway State Trail, Bruce Vento Trail, and scenic routes linking the Phalen Chain of Lakes-offering miles of biking, walking, and outdoor access just minutes away.
