Overview

Description

Sturdy and quaint 1940's traditional style home with hardwood floors, arched entry ways and cove ceilings! The spacious living room boasts hardwood floors that could be redone to be gorgeous again, carpeted or left as they are. The dining room is situated between the living room and kitchen and has hardwood floors. Kitchen features a pantry and door leading to the 3 season porch overlooking the back yard with a patio. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a full bath. The full basement had once been finished prior to us purchasing the home in 2008. There's a large family room area with a bar and framed unfinished bathroom that still has a working toilet. It could be easily finished off again. Originally, it appears that there was a tuck-under garage that has been used as a workshop area in the past. We purchased this home as an income property, which has worked well for us. If we were to keep it, we would paint or reside and install new windows. Seller is a licensed broker in MN.
