Some homes simply check the boxes. This one creates the kind of memories you'll be talking about for years. Proudly custom-built by Custom One Homes and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this impressive two-story home offers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and timeless quality. From the moment you pull up, you'll appreciate the beautifully landscaped yard, mature surroundings, and expansive fenced backyard that's ready for everything from backyard games and family gatherings to summer barbecues and evenings around the fire. Step inside and imagine welcoming guests into the grand foyer, where the home opens to a warm and inviting family room featuring brand-new carpet and a cozy wood-burning fireplace-the perfect place to gather on chilly Minnesota evenings. The heart of the home is the beautifully updated kitchen, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, built-in stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and gleaming oak floors create a space where everyone naturally wants to gather. Enjoy casual meals in the sunny eat-in kitchen or step into the four-season porch, where walls of windows invite the outdoors in and provide the perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or simply taking in views of the backyard. From here, step out onto the deck and imagine summer evenings spent relaxing under the stars. When it's time to entertain, you'll love having both formal living and dining rooms that provide plenty of space for holiday celebrations, dinner parties, and special occasions. A convenient main-floor laundry and mudroom helps keep everyday life organized and running smoothly. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a private owner's retreat designed for relaxation. The generous primary suite features a walk-in closet and a private bath complete with a jetted tub, separate shower, and linen storage-your own personal escape at the end of the day. The second bedroom offers a unique walk-through connection to the full bath and includes two closets, while the third bedroom provides comfortable space for family, guests, or a home office. The walkout lower level expands your living space even further with a huge recreation room that's ready for movie nights, game days, hobbies, workouts, or entertaining friends. A fourth bedroom and ¾ bath make it ideal for guests, teens, or multigenerational living. With a newer furnace and Aprilaire system, a spacious fenced backyard, beautiful outdoor living spaces, and a location just minutes from schools, parks, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, this is the kind of home that rarely becomes available. If you've been searching for a home with room to spread out, space to entertain, and a yard everyone will love, this one deserves a spot at the top of your list. Come see it in person-you may not want to leave.
