Delightful 2-story in a "knock-your-socks-off" great neighborhood. As the current, 30+ year-owner packs his family treasures and memories, this opens the door for a new and exciting chapter for you, as the new owner, to do the same. The home is quietly and conveniently tucked just off Babcock Trail near the end of a cul-de-sac assuring the only passersby are either wonderful neighbors or some form of wildlife. Additionally, the property adjoins 80+ acres of city parkland offering mountain biking and hiking trails, as well as new tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts at nearby (walking distance) Salem Hills Park. Salem Hills Elementary School is also just beyond the end of the cul-de-sac; an easy 5-minute walk. This custom built, classic 2-story embraces all the quality one would expect from mid-century craftmanship and features four bedrooms and a full bath all on the upper level, while the main level includes a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, half bath and main floor three season porch - soon to become your favorite escape in the spring, summer and fall. Updates include cement board siding, windows, furnace, gas fireplace on the main level, granite countertops, undercounter stainless steel sink, new oak cabinets (some with glass panels adding additional natural light to the kitchen) and a new water softener. Also, the fiber-based internet service equates to blazingly fast speed! A walkout lower level is home to a family room with woodburning fireplace and easy access to the backyard patio for hours of enjoyment looking out to the private backyard oasis which includes apple and pear trees and the city parkland beyond. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this beautiful home in a prime Twin Cities location! The home is just 1.5 miles from Highway 52 and close to restaurants, movie theater, and shopping, making it an ideal location for convenience and recreation. The proactive seller also offers you a comprehensive 82-page professional home inspection for your pre-offer review.
