About This Home
As of March 2025Loved and pampered by the original owners, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 4-bath home is designed to the last detail for comfortable living and entertaining. This fine home is brimming with many enhancements for you to enjoy. This classic home is located in magical Mendota Heights. As soon as you enter, you know you’re in for a treat. The foyer is graced with hardwood floors and a large coat closet. Columns and an arched entryway lead to the living room. Across the foyer is a formal dining room featuring triple windows and eye-catching lighting. This will be the scene of many memorable meals, from festive holiday celebrations to intimate candlelight dinners. The well-designed kitchen will delight with abundant rich cabinetry and expanses of quartz-topped workspace and attractive tiled backsplashes. The windows surrounding the corner sink provide wonderful backyard views and plenty of sunshine. The center island has overhead pendant lighting and is ideal for serving or additional workspace. New refrigerator and microwave in 2025. The main floor family room will become the heart of your home, complete with a brick gas-burning fireplace flanked by built-ins. New neutral carpet throughout this home. The mudroom connects the garage and kitchen with luxury vinyl tiles. A large coat closet is great for extra storage. Steps away is a half bath with a pedestal sink. Beyond the mudroom is a den with double windows and a closet. This home has two porches. The front porch is beautiful stamped concrete. Wonderful for enjoying the southern exposure. Off the eat-in kitchen area is a large three-season porch with composite decking that continues out to a deck overlooking the backyard. Escape to the upper level owner’s suite with tray ceiling and fan, plus a vast walk-in closet with skylight. Don’t miss the second walk-in closet! The owner’s private full bath is enhanced with a deep soaking tub, a step-in shower and an expansive countertop with dual sinks. Three additional bedrooms, each with soft neutral carpet, large closets and windows with treetop views are grouped with a full bath with dual sinks and new flooring. The upper level laundry is a real step saver with EZ care flooring, a utility sink, plus cabinets for storing your laundry supplies. Travel to the lower level to find yet more functional living space! There is a handsome family room with recessed lighting, a wall of built-ins, a “dry” bar area and three-quarter bath. A large shelved storage room is another bonus. Sliders lead to a paver patio and beautiful backyard. Just beyond that is another paver patio where a fire pit could be enjoyed. A three-car garage will store your cars and toys.
Enhancements include new carpet and interior paint throughout in 2025; new exterior paint and roof in the fall of 2024. * A .45 acre lot next door is available separately.
