Some homes take a while to win you over. This one takes about 30 seconds. Step inside this charming cottage, make your way to the expansive deck, look toward the woods, and you’ll understand why. Morning coffee with the birds, evenings listening to the trees. Deer and owls passing through are all part of the setting. Situated on approximately half an acre, the backyard connects you to Kaplans Woods. Backyard access to nearby trails for hiking, biking and cross-country skiing. More than 1, 000 sq. ft. of decking creates an incredible space to entertain, grill, relax and enjoy every Minnesota season. Apple trees, raised garden beds, and a large utility shed beneath the deck add even more to the property. The big ticket work has been done too, with a brand new roof (26) plus updated furnace (17), A/C (17), windows (17) and appliances (19). Add a heated garage with high-efficiency furnace, and this home is ready to enjoy. Come for the house. Walk onto the deck. That’s when you’ll know. This home is for you.
