***Offer Deadline: Saturday, June 13, 6:30 pm *** Imagine ending your day on a stunning maintenance-free deck overlooking your own backyard retreat. Set on a beautiful lot with a pond, this home offers the kind of outdoor space that's hard to find and even harder to leave. Summer evenings are made for grilling, entertaining, and relaxing on the expansive 300+ sq. ft. deck (2024) and patio, while winter brings a special bonus: a pond that can become the perfect backdrop for hockey games, skating, and outdoor fun. The backyard also includes a chicken coop for those dreaming of fresh eggs. The sellers are happy to either leave the coop behind or remove it before closing—buyer's choice. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully updated and stunning kitchen that was completely renovated in 2018 and features crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a beautiful backsplash, and direct access to the backyard, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. A reverse osmosis water filtration system with a new carbon filter adds an extra touch of convenience and peace of mind. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath complete with a separate tub and shower, and generous counter space. Just outside the primary bedroom is a charming reading nook, the perfect spot to curl up with a good book or enjoy a quiet moment away from the bustle of the day. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with quick and convenient access to I-694, this location offers an easy commute while keeping you close to parks, trails, and recreation, including Lake Elmo Park Reserve. Whether you're hosting friends on the deck, skating on the pond, gathering eggs from your backyard coop, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, this home delivers a lifestyle you'll love in every season. A brand-new roof installed in 2025 provides peace of mind, knowing one of the home's most significant improvements has already been taken care of for years to come.
