Tucked into 6 private acres in Highland Bluffs with Coon Creek running along the border, from the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the peaceful setting and amazing views, confirming your unmistakable feeling that you just found something special. Step inside and you’re welcomed by the warmth of real hardwood floors, natural light pouring in from every direction, and luxurious details at every turn. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, with stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop and double wall ovens, a walk-in pantry with a window, granite countertops, and it’s all wrapped around a center island complete with a prep sink. Imagine the amazing meals you’ll prepare and stories that will be shared here. Off the kitchen is the informal dining area, with windows offering backyard views in every direction. Anchored by a gas fireplace, the living room is steps away and features in-ceiling speakers and more beautiful backyard views. The dedicated home office, powder room, mudroom, and laundry room round out the main floor. Don’t miss the pet washing station in the laundry room. Your furry family members will love it! Just off the kitchen and dining area is the low-maintenance deck, overlooking the pool and backyard. Talk about a perfect spot for morning coffee, summer grilling, or pretending you’re going to start reading more books outside. The landscaping and in-ground irrigation system make your new yard beautiful and easy to maintain. Whether you’re enjoying summer in the pool, playing basketball on the blacktop sport court, or swinging on the playset, this yard promises unlimited entertainment and amazing memories! Heading back inside and upstairs, the owner's suite sets the tone: spacious and flexible, it feels like your own private retreat, with a separate sitting area, a walk-in closet with custom built-ins offering enough space for all the clothes “you’re going to wear again someday,” and a spa-like en suite with separate jetted tub, walk-in shower, and tile floors. Bedroom two has its own 1/4 bath and a walk-in closet; a third bedroom is near a full hall bath with jetted tub and tile floors, and a bonus room off the owner’s suite over the garage was used as a workout room. On the lower level, you’ll find a large, flexible family room with a walk-up bar, a corner electric fireplace, and direct walk-out access to the backyard. Yes, you’re just steps from a refreshing dip in your in-ground, heated swimming pool. There is another bedroom, a full bathroom, a spacious flex room, plenty of storage, and the mechanical room. You also want to know about the garage? Smart decision; it’s pretty fantastic. This oversized 3-stall can likely fit most vehicles you throw at it, and still has additional “shop” space. It’s also fully insulated and heated, so no more cold leather in the winter for you. Some additional features: Tri-zone HVAC system, in-ceiling speakers in multiple locations, a refreshed front exterior with new LP SmartSide, the roof is only 6 years old, and the washer and dryer are new in the last few years. The seller even had a pre-listing inspection performed before listing. And location? Nestled along Coon Creek, with the privacy of no neighbors in three directions, yet still with easy access to Hwy 65 and I-35W, this is a perfect balance between country living and suburban life, only minutes from your favorite coffee, shopping, and restaurants. Welcome home to your personal retreat on Waconia Street NE.
