Some homes simply have a presence about them, and this is one of them. With its timeless brick exterior, stately architecture, and beautifully angled three-stall garage creating an impressive estate-like arrival, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of elegance, quality craftsmanship, and everyday comfort. From the moment you pull into the driveway, you'll appreciate that this is a home designed to stand the test of time. Thoughtfully designed for convenient main-floor living, the home features all you need plus three bedrooms on the main level, including a stunning primary suite with private access to the deck—perfect for morning coffee or peaceful evenings overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. The spa-inspired primary bath feels like a private retreat, complete with a luxurious Jacuzzi tub surrounded by tropical-inspired privacy windows, a spacious walk-in tile shower, and timeless finishes that invite you to slow down and unwind. A third main-floor bedroom currently serves as a welcoming den or office, offering flexibility to fit your lifestyle. A spacious laundry room off the garage on that main floor rounds out the concept of one-level living. The lower level continues to impress with an incredible amount of finished living space ready to become whatever you envision. Enjoy movie nights, gather in the spacious recreation area, create the ultimate hobby room, home gym, game room, or additional living space. An elegant Italian-inspired bathroom brings old-world charm, while a large tiled space with egress windows helps one to envision the possibility of creating a fourth bedroom while still leaving plenty of room for additional finished living space. Abundant storage throughout the home ensures everything has its place. Even the fully finished three-stall heated garage is exceptional. Featuring in-floor radiant heat, hot and cold running water, two floor drains, and 220-volt wiring for heavy-duty power equipment, it's perfectly equipped for year-round vehicle washing, woodworking, hobbies, or serious projects. A full-size refrigerator and microwave complete the space, creating the ultimate workshop or "man cave". A welcoming layout, elegant finishing details, and the exceptional care this one-owner home has received make it truly stand out and a home you won't ever want to leave. Step outside and discover your own private oasis. With no neighbors directly to the east-only peaceful woods and abundant wildlife-you'll enjoy a rare sense of privacy while living in town. The expansive deck and patio provide wonderful spaces for entertaining or simply relaxing, while the beautifully landscaped yard, complete with an irrigation system, water garden, and herb garden, offers stunning curb appeal with minimal maintenance. Located in one of Faribault's most desirable neighborhoods, just steps from the Faribault Golf & Country Club and only minutes from I-35, this home offers the perfect balance of luxury, convenience, and accessibility. Lovingly cared for by its original owner, this remarkable home has never before been offered for sale, making it an incredibly rare opportunity to own a truly special property. Homes with this level of quality, timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and pride of ownership seldom become available, and the cost to recreate a home like this today would be extraordinary. Don't miss your chance to make this one-owner, estate-like home your own.
