What makes a house feel like home? Maybe it’s one that’s been cherished for generations, where the original woodwork, character & history have been beautifully preserved...without sacrificing the comforts of today. Built to last and aging like fine wine, this home pairs its old-house charm with extensive improvements, including updated electrical in the house & garage (2021), refinished hardwood floors on the second level (2025-2026), new bedroom carpet (2026), kitchen appliances (2020) & fresh exterior paint on the home and garage (2026). See the full list of improvements for even more! The welcome starts on the sweet 3-season porch and continues inside with a stunning original staircase (and yes, there’s a coat closet!). The 1.5-story floor plan offers a kitchen, dining room, living room, bonus room, laundry & half bath on the main level. Two main-level living spaces give you options - TV room, playroom, office, reading room - you decide! Upstairs, you’ll find 3 generously sized bedrooms & a lovely tiled 3/4 bathroom with in-floor heat. The lower level is unfinished and provides ample storage space. The updates continue outside with freshly painted house and garage, new landscaping & regrade (2025), new lighting & a 2-car garage insulated and ready to be finished to fit your needs. And because a home with this much history should have at least one good secret… make sure you ask about the underground tunnel! All of this is just one block from flourishing downtown Zumbrota, where cafs, shops, groceries & more are practically part of the neighborhood. This home has been collecting stories for generations. Will yours be next?
