Have you been looking for a secluded home to enjoy the country life but still want to be just minutes from downtown Stillwater? This is the home you have been looking for! This property is perfect for hobbies like bee-keeping, backyard chickens, gardening, hunting, or just enjoying the natural surroundings. Drive up the newer asphalt driveway to approach this one-story home on almost 6 acres. The oversized, 3-car, heated garage has ample storage, a 220V outlet and floor drain. There is an additional 16x12 storage shed and a portable 28x14 vinyl Quonset for even more storage. There's also room to build a pole barn! Inside the home you'll find lots of updates, like the full kitchen remodel done in 2020. New painted cabinets, quartz counters, tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances - including a gas range - make this kitchen feel fresh. In 2023, the deck was rebuilt with maintenance-free composite decking and railings that overlook the 8x6 chicken coop, fenced run, and fenced-in garden area. Just off the dining room is a cute sun porch to enjoy the sounds and smells of nature. The floors throughout the main floor were replaced with LVP and almost all of the windows were replaced with Andersen's in 2015, along with the roof! This home could be true one-level living, utilizing the two larger bedrooms on the main floor and bigger current full bath to create a primary bathroom and/or main floor laundry area. The primary bedroom currently has a spacious walk-in closet. Downstairs is a 3rd bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom. The lower-level family room has a walkout door and plenty of windows, along with a wet bar area. The 4th room offers flexibility for either a home office, a future 4th bedroom, or an exercise room. The laundry room is finished and mechanicals were updated in 2012 and 2014. The septic was updated in 2013 and the home exterior was painted in 2022. So much has been done; see the full update list! And, if the power ever goes out there's a 50 amp home back-up generator system - added in 2020. Hike, bike, and explore the nearby Gateway Trail, and visit some of the cleanest lakes: Big Carnelian and Square Lake. See why so many have chosen this area!
