This beautifully maintained West Mankato home features a main floor that has an open concept from the living room, with a gas fireplace, through the dining room and kitchen right into the sunroom overlooking the back yard. Two bedrooms and a full bath with a soaking tub and a standalone shower complete the main floor. Hardwood floors, original woodwork, and Anderson windows throughout. The kitchen and bathroom were recently remodeled. The upstairs has two more bedrooms and two walk-in attics for storage. The walkout basement has a family room with a gas fireplace, a walk-in pantry, the laundry/utility room, and a workshop or gardener's room. A Vivint home security system, including main panel, thermostat, smart locks on all doors, and motion sensors on doors and windows, is included with the house. This property boasts a fully fenced yard that was inspired by the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with a pond, waterfall, raised beds for flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees with plenty of native plants and a dwarf golden curly willow tree. There is an oversized insulated two-car garage with an upstairs finished bonus room and attic storage in the backyard with alley access. You can enjoy the backyard from the two patios or the deck off the bonus room. The Red Jacket Trail is just down the block!
