Peaceful elegance embodies the privacy of this quiet, nearly 5-acre, retreat while the sights and sounds of nature cause the hectic pace of busy and harried lives to melt away as snow melts into spring. The current, original owners who created and have meticulously cared for this masterpiece for nearly a quarter-century transition now to a new season of life. This new season opens the door of opportunity for the next owner to begin painting the picture for their own new memory-making chapter in this custom-built executive rambler-style home. Set in a near sanctuary-style setting, the non-through street is home to a mere 15 families each enjoying the immediate solitude of the neighborhood and the super convenient Columbus location offering convenient 5-minute access to I-35W and 35 minutes to downtown Mpls. While the peacefulness of the location makes you feel miles away, all modern conveniences are 15-minutes or less from your front door. And if the location itself was not enough to pique your interest, the home is a pure treasure chest of top quality and thoughtful design. Stone and Hardie Board combine with a peaked gable and welcome you and your guests to the large, open porch and elegant front door.

Additionally, the main floor offers a living room with vaulted ceiling, stunning sunroom with glass pocket doors, den/office/bedroom offering views of the front yard, spacious primary bedroom with private bath, laundry and guest 3/4 bath.
