This is the kind of rambler that makes you appreciate how much a well-cared-for home can offer! Quiet street with no through traffic and just two blocks from a neighborhood park. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been exceptionally maintained, thoughtfully updated, and designed to make the most of every inch. Beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and fresh paint welcome you upstairs, while the huge back family room steals the show with new plush carpet, many windows, south-facing light, and walkout access to the Trex deck and backyard. Two main-level bedrooms include a spacious primary with dual closets and nearby 3/4 bath. The finished lower level adds incredible flexibility with a recreation room, bonus space, bedroom with new egress window, second bath, and bright laundry area. The bonus room also offers potential to create a 4th bedroom with the addition of an egress window! Outside, enjoy a new privacy fence, maintenance-free deck, powered shed, and a large, heated garage with workshop, 50-amp electrical panel, and 240V outlet. Anderson windows, Hardie siding, maintenance-free gutters with custom guards, regularly serviced HVAC, and a smart thermostat add peace of mind. Close to Long Meadow Lake, parks, trails, 35E, 35W, and MSP!
