AMAZING Value, Large One-Level Living!

Enjoy generous living spaces, gorgeous hardwood floors and new carpeting, newer mechanicals and a large, updated kitchen with granite countertops! This beautiful home offers outstanding value. All bedrooms are located on the main floor, making this the perfect home for growing families or those seeking one-level accessible living.

The home’s many recent updates include:

2026: 50-gallon water heater, Carpeting in living room, main-floor family room and master bedroom,

New interior paint through much of the house.

2024: New Bosch dishwasher.

2022: New roof.

2019: New furnace

Hardwood floors shine throughout most of the main level. Delight in the cheerful main-floor living spaces: a sun-filled living room with two banks of tall windows; a large dining room with a classic coved ceiling; a large, updated kitchen with tons of storage, beautiful granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, gas stove top, wall oven, counter seating and an informal dining area that opens to a cozy family room (or office) with gas fireplace. The family room walks out to one of the homes’ two large, private decks and overlooks the backyard gardens.

The primary bedroom has a private ensuite, ¾ bath with Corian shower surround, stone tile floor and half-wall tiling. Adjacent to the primary bedroom is a convenient main-floor laundry room with a large custom-designed closet and drawers. This room could easily be converted back into a bedroom (the built-in closet can be pulled out, leaving a traditional clothes closet), and putting the laundry back downstairs, making four bedrooms on the main floor.

Completing the main level are two more large bedrooms, both with hardwood floors and big closets, as well as a full bath with white ceramic tile. There is a handy mud room between the garage and kitchen. The home has extensive storage spaces throughout, including two cedar closets on the main level!

Have fun in the huge lower-level retro family room or make it your own with space for billiards/games and a large-screen TV! It even comes with a retro rotary wall phone. The light and bright utility room provides tons of storage or workshop space. Note the west side of the utility room has plumbing for a shower and a toilet. Laundry hook up is also in place.

Situated on a 1/3-acre corner lot that provides both sun and shade, with many perennials planted. Its fabulous location is just 2 blocks to Spring Creek Elementary, 4 blocks to Northfield Nursery School, an easy walking distance to the high school, golf course, municipal swimming pool, Carleton, the Arboretum and downtown Northfield. Enjoy Northfield and all its stores, farmers’ markets, restaurants, breweries and coffee shops.
