About this home
This timeless rambler sits atop the hill situated on a lush green yard with towering shade trees. As you pull up to the house, you immediately notice the tasteful perennial landscaping, the perfect touch to the elegant feel of this classic home. This property sits on over .6 acres with a fully fenced backyard designed for both activity and leisure. Play a game of basketball or football, plant a garden (there is generous shed space for your tools) or sit around the fire pit. Grill your favorite meal on the deck then relax on the paver patio with a nice cool beverage in hand. Whatever you decide to do, you'll do it in complete privacy while the birds sing in the background. The interior of the home will have you feeling as peaceful as the park-like yard. Step inside to find a well appointed layout ensuring the one-level living you've been searching for. There are 3 bedrooms on one level including a private owners suite with walk-thru closet and a stunning new 3/4 bath with dual sinks. A full bath is located by the other bedrooms while a tucked away 1/2 bath is great for guests. Enjoy the office with a wall of windows overlooking the backyard or use it as a sunroom filled with plants and cozy furniture. The newly updated kitchen with exceptional counter and prep areas and stainless appliances (including a double oven & gas stove) will have you volunteering to host family gatherings. The spacious dining and living room are both flooded with natural light giving this home a bright and welcoming personality. The main level laundry and mudroom are both practical and convenient giving a smooth flow to your day to day life. A finished lower level offers plush carpet so comfortable you'll want to nap on it. The family room is large enough for 2 seperate living areas including a movie space with built in shelving and play area great for gaming, toys, a gym, library or whatever best suits your needs. You'll find a 4th bedroom and a secret room hidden behind the bookcase. It could be an office, substantial walk-in closet, music room or additional storage. A 3/4 bath and utility room with ample storage round out the lower level. Walk to 155 acre Purgatory Park and its miles of hiking and biking trails, and Clear Springs Elementary School and its nationally-known Spanish Immersion Program. You're just minutes from 101 and HWY 7 and all of the amazing downtown areas of Minnetonka, Excelsior and the very best of Lake Minnetonka. Welcome Home!
