Tucked into the sought-after Hunters Crest neighborhood, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a rare sense of charm, comfort, and privacy. Set on over half an acre in the Waconia School District, the property backs to 11 acres of city-owned woods and a walking path, creating a peaceful natural setting with serene views in every season. Inside, refinished hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and newer appliances, expansive windows, and a spacious primary suite create a warm and welcoming feel. The walkout lower level offers flexible space for guests, a home office, gym, or future fourth bedroom. Outside, enjoy quiet mornings and relaxed evenings on the oversized deck or ground-level patio, all surrounded by the beauty of the wooded backyard, with a partially fenced area that keeps children and pets close while preserving the natural setting and the wildlife that make this property so special. A heated, insulated 3-car garage with storage and a 50-amp breaker adds even more value. Just steps from the Dakota Rail Regional Trail, pickleball and tennis courts, and neighborhood playgrounds, this turn-key home offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and lifestyle.
