Looking to have some space and privacy only 25 miles from Minot? This is it! Welcome to this great home in Velva. This home rests along a quiet street on a large mature treed lot. As spring comes into bloom, the plush shrubbery privacy fencing along the property lines will create a gentle sense of separation from neighboring homes. The front of the home was updated with the addition of a new enclosed porch, which is very spacious and sure to become a new favorite hang out location. There are two driveway access points to the home, one for the double garage, and another can be RV parking if needed. The additional entrance could accommodate a driveway to a future second garage. On the current driveway side, a generous size deck provides access to the kitchen. The sliding glass patio door welcomes you to a modern kitchen with great counter space, plenty of cabinet space, and a open concept that flows nicely on in to the living/family room area. The feel within this home is cozy and comforting. Many great windows throughout bring in private views and natural sunlight. Rounding out the main floor is the main bedroom and a three quarter bath, as well as access to the new porch. Heading upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bath, and the generous size laundry room. The upper rooms have great closets, high ceilings for being drop ceilings, and are overall good size. Heading back down to the basement level are the utilities and some space for extra storage. Outside the home the driveway offers lots of parking space, and the detached 2 car garage has a special stall with an underground space that can be used for anyone wanting to work underneath cars. Location is key. This home is close to downtown amenities, is within walking distance to an expansive park system, the local swimming pool, and the local school. Best of all, you get all this bang without paying a lot of bucks on property taxes! Fresh paint throughout. In 2022 the home was professionally updated with new plumbing through the majority of the home, new HVAC was installed to add forced air and A/C in the home, the dual heat option via a heat pump was installed, and propane was plumbed to provide supplemental forced air heat.
