About This Home

As of September 2025

Charming Home with Bonus In-Law Apartment Steps from Lake Wabasso in the sought-after Mounds View School Disctrict!!!
Enjoy lake breezes and morning coffee in hand as you greet the sunrise from your generous, elevated front porch. This wonderful home also gives you easy access to both downtowns, neighborhood parks and nature preserves, and vibrant local dining and shopping. Whether you're seeking a multigenerational living solution, a flexible work-from-home environment, or a savvy investment with rental potential, this cottage adapts to fit your lifestyle.
This delightful cottage is just steps from the shores of Lake Wabasso, offering the perfect blend of location, charm and versatility.
The charming main home features four bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a spacious 2 car garage with convenient access from both the street or the alley.
What truly sets this home apart is the bonus 1-bedroom mother-in-law apartment—complete with its own entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, living/dining areas, and a cozy work/study nook. Whether you need extra room for extended family, a private guest retreat, or potential rental income, this suite delivers unmatched flexibility.
And there’s more—the in-law apartment also features a fully finished lower level (not in sq. footage) with an additional 3/4 bath and separate laundry. While the low ceiling height may limit the apartment’s lower level as a traditional living space, it’s perfect for storage, a cozy playroom, or even a creative studio. Bring your ideas and make it your own!
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own two living spaces for the price of one! An unbeatable value in Shoreview!
