Some homes have great features. Others offer a great lifestyle. This home delivers both. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 1/3-acre corner lot in the highly sought-after Raspberry Hills neighborhood, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 4-bath home offers over 3,100 finished square feet of exceptional living space in the acclaimed White Bear Lake Area Schools district. From the moment you arrive, the freshly painted exterior (2024), mature trees, and welcoming curb appeal set the tone. Inside, rough-hewn hickory hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The heart of the home is the stunning remodeled kitchen, anchored by a striking granite island that looks more like a piece of art than a countertop, crisp white cabinetry extending to the ceiling, extensive pull-out storage, and a gorgeous large center island with seating for five. A new dual-fuel convection range with air-fry capability (2025) completes this chef-inspired space. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the cozy hearth room with a wood-burning fireplace and overlooks one of the property's most impressive features: a private backyard retreat. Enjoy a spacious two-level deck, rounded brick paver patio with built-in fire pit, fenced vegetable garden, mature fruit trees including Honeycrisp and Zestar apple trees and a plum tree, irrigation system, large open grassy spaces for outdoor activities, and exceptional privacy provided by established tree coverage. The main level also features formal living and dining spaces, a convenient guest bath, and an oversized laundry/mudroom with flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, fitness area, hobby room, or additional storage. Upstairs, the generous primary suite offers a private ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The finished lower level adds approximately 600 square feet of flexible living space and is designed for entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Highlights include a spacious family room with a gas fireplace, custom built-ins with extensive storage and pull-out shelving, a wet bar with marble countertops, a fourth bedroom, and a full bath. A large utility room with built-in shelving provides even more organized storage. Recent improvements include a new roof (2024), exterior paint (2024), and new carpeting on the main floor, staircase and upper level (2025), offering true move-in-ready peace of mind. Beyond the home itself, the lifestyle is extraordinary. Enjoy walkable access to multiple city parks, playgrounds, sports fields, tennis and pickleball courts, sledding hills, and miles of paved trails. Just minutes away, Lake Vadnais and Sucker Lake offer year-round recreation including hiking, biking, fishing, birdwatching, cross-country skiing, and peaceful lakeside views-all while remaining only 15 minutes from downtown. This is more than a home-it's a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional neighborhood, outstanding outdoor amenities, and a lifestyle that buyers hope to find but rarely do.
