There's something incredibly reassuring about a home that has been quietly improved over time. Not overdone. Not stripped of its character. Just thoughtfully updated, well maintained, and easy to imagine yourself settling into. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Shamrock Glen neighborhood, this home offers over 1,700 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, with a layout that blends versatility and charm. The improvements here are substantial. The roof is just eight years old. Almost every window has been replaced within the last two years and come with a lifetime, transferrable warranty. Vinyl siding surrounds the home and a furnace, water heater and water softener that were all replaced between 2014 and 2025. The cedar deck is a beautiful outdoor living area with maintenance-free railing and an insulated and finished two-car garage is ready for Minnesota winters. The main level includes two bedrooms, including a spacious primary. A second bedroom on this floor works beautifully for guests, a nursery, or a dedicated office, and the full bathroom is updated with clean, timeless finishes that include a new vanity and countertop with soft close drawers all completed in 2024. Natural light fills the living room through oversized front windows, reflecting off the new flooring that gives the space a warm, open feel. The kitchen and dining area are a show stopper that connect easily, centered around a generous island that naturally becomes the heart of daily living. Brand new stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry with soft close drawers, quartz countertops and a serene window over the sink overlooking the backyard keep the space functional and bright. Sliding glass doors lead directly to the deck, creating an easy flow for everyday routines and weekend gatherings. The lower level adds even more flexibility with a third and fourth bedroom, full bathroom, and a spacious family room that features brand new carpet installed in 2021. A dedicated laundry room that includes a new washer and dryer along with a storage area keeps things organized. While the backyard is a spacious and quiet retreat with a storage shed for all those "yard extras". Location is another standout feature! About 20 miles north of the Twin Cities, with quick access to Highway 61, 35E, and 694, getting anywhere you want to go is simple, while the setting remains peaceful and green. Nearby parks and trails, including Rice Lake Park and Oneka Lake Park, offer an abundance of outdoor recreation. Everyday essentials like Festival Foods and Aldi are a quick jaunt down the road with Kowalski's and Lunds & Byerlys in nearby White Bear Lake. Several well-loved local restaurants like Blue Heron Grill, Blacksmith Lounge, Campanelle and Rudy's Redeye Grill are the perfect date night or Sunday family dinner spot. Running Aces Casino & Racetrack, Wild Mountain Ski Area, MSP Airport, and the Maplewood Mall are all within easy reach for all your entertainment needs. The shores of White Bear Lake is also just a short drive down Highway 61, providing easy access for summer boating, swimming, and paddleboarding, or winter ice fishing and skating. This is a home that blends solid updates, flexible living space, and a location that truly connects you to everything. It has been thoughtfully improved while keeping the warmth and character that make a house feel like home. Come see it in person, walk through the rooms, step out onto the deck, and imagine your life unfolding here!
