Set on a picturesque .42-acre lot surrounded by mature trees, established perennial gardens and a spacious, level backyard, this inviting walkout rambler offers comfortable living inside and out. Step into a sun-filled main level where oak hardwood floors and an abundance of south-facing windows create a warm, welcoming feel. At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen showcases crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island, stainless steel appliances, gas range and excellent storage. The adjoining living room is filled with natural light, while the breezeway connecting the home and garage provides a versatile bonus space ideal as a screened porch or relaxing seasonal retreat. Three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main floor, including a generous primary with two closets, along with a full bath featuring dual sinks. Downstairs, the walkout lower level is made for gathering, with charming pine plank floors, an expansive family room, and wood-burning fireplace. A spacious fourth bedroom with built-ins and nearby 3/4 bath creates a welcoming setup for guests. There's no shortage of storage, plus a laundry area with utility sink and a unique bomb shelter. Thoughtful updates include a newer furnace and A/C, April Aire humidifier, reverse osmosis system, radon mitigation and a 5-year-old water heater. An invisible fence is already in place for pets. Best of all, Thorpe Park is just a short walk away, with the LRT trail nearby and Deephaven Beach and Lake Minnetonka access less than a mile away.
