224 Hickory Ln E Shakopee, MN 55379

This is the kind of home that quietly surprises you in all the best ways. From the moment you step in the front door, you can feel that this one has been thoughtfully cared for, beautifully updated, and designed for real life - the kind of life where people gather, windows stay open, and the backyard becomes your favorite "room" in the house. Tucked into the tree-lined Meadows West neighborhood, this stunning 3-level split level home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, over 1,800 finished square feet of living space, and a 2-car attached garage - giving you space to spread out both inside and out. Recent upgrades include new siding, roof, backyard patio, landscaping, furnace and A/C, granite countertops, updated light fixtures, the removal of a wall to open up the main living space, and a beautiful decorative railing that ties it all together. The heart of the home's main floor is bright, open, and welcoming, creating a seamless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Natural light pours in, especially through the kitchen window above the sink - the kind of detail you'll appreciate every single day. The dining area is perfectly positioned for entertaining, holidays, or slow Sunday mornings, and the laundry area is conveniently located on this level for easy, everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find a full bathroom and two bedrooms, including the spacious primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and sizable walk-in closet. The natural light and thoughtful layout make this level feel airy, calm, and comfortable - a tranquil retreat at the end of the day. The walkout lower level adds incredible flexibility with two additional bedrooms and a sprawling family room that can become anything you need: movie nights, game space, workout area, playroom, or guest retreat. Sliding doors lead directly to the NEW back patio and expansive backyard oasis, uncovering a cozy grilling area, firepit, storage shed, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. This lot is something special. Mature trees, generous green space, and a walking path that run along the back of the property make the yard feel private, peaceful, and connected to nature all at once. Between the front porch, back patio, and yard space, there's no shortage of places to sit, gather, and enjoy! With easy access to both Hwy 169 and 101, this home sits in a prime spot for convenience and recreation. You're just minutes from Lions Park, the Shakopee Community Center & Ice Arena, and local favorites like Turtle's Bar & Grill, Wampach's Restaurant, Tommy's Malt Shop, McCoy's Copper Pint, and Bravis Craft Mexican Kitchen. You're also a short drive from Valleyfair and Canterbury Park, with everyday stops like Cub, HyVee, Aldi, Sam's Club, Walmart, and the charm of Downtown Shakopee all close by. If you've been looking for a home that offers space, thoughtful updates, warmth, and a yard that truly feels like an extension of the living area, this is one you need to experience in person. Come walk through it. Step out back. Sit on the porch. You'll understand why this one feels different!
