A little bit of Country, a little bit of City. Your little slice of paradise. Unwind on the deck and it almost feels like you're in a luxury treehouse overlooking a nature preserve. Gaze at the serenity of Rice Creek for birds, small woodland animals and plants. Convenient nearby creek & river trails await the bicyclists and hikers. Rice Creek water level varies, but during higher water, you can canoe, kayak, or paddleboard the creek as it meanders & flows through Locke Lake, and Manomin Park, and eventually joins the Mississippi River. (Note, you'll need to portage at the Locke Lake dam). Quick access to Hwys 47 & 694. Northtown Mall is a mere 5 minutes away, Mercy Hospital-Unity Campus is just 1.5 miles. The Northstar commuter rail and Metro transit are nearby. Air conditioning & heat have been updated by the owner. There's lots of woodwork that add to the Northwoods feel. Just add your personal interior updates to make this an amazing home.
