Serenity now! Although close and convenient accessibility to anywhere in the twin cities, you will feel perfectly removed and serene in this quiet, highly sought-after Mendota Heights neighborhood. This 1950s mid-century modern flat roof-style home is hard to come by, but a completely gutted interior (2019) to create an open, single-level living floorplan with all the bells and whistles makes this a spectacular and rare opportunity! The huge back yard includes new expansive colored & stamped concrete patios, professional landscaping including mature tree additions, a new (2024) cedar privacy fence, and an adorable shed. The main floor is home to a stunning chef’s kitchen with walk in pantry, a large primary suite with walk-in closet, laundry, and a 3/4 bath with double sinks, a separate powder room, and cozy living room with a stone covered gas fireplace. The heated 2+ car garage with a door accessing the back yard and a coated floor was added in 2024. A very convenient and hidden mudroom space connects the house and garage seamlessly. Added to the front of the house are colored & stamped expansive concrete patios, a new blacktop driveway, and retaining wall installed in 2019. On the lower level, three bedrooms are serviced by a full bathroom and zoned heat & AC. Additionally, you’ll find a den or 4th non-conforming bedroom, open office or playroom space, a theater room for family movie nights or the big games, and a storage room with laundry hookups for a 2nd laundry space. With absolutely everything new and thoughtfully planned, move in and live worry-free.
