Kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances. Head upstairs and you’ll find a versatile loft that gives you options. Home office, guest space, hobby room or 3rd bedroom possibility.

Outside, mature trees create a private feel with two patio areas and plenty of room to make the yard your own. Just in time for Minnesota bonfire season, with space to gather around the fire this fall, and come spring, start planning the garden you’ve always wanted.
