Blending mid-century modern appeal with big ticket updates throughout, this home is ready for its next owner to move right in! Set on just over 1 acre of mature trees, this 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home delivers over 2,600 square feet of comfortable living space designed to accommodate both everyday living and entertaining. Inside, you’ll find a welcoming foyer that overlooks a stunning mid-century modern family room complete with a cozy fireplace and beautiful wood ceiling beams—ideal for gathering year-round. The upper level showcases a bright, open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and living areas are enhanced by soaring vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light streaming through new windows.

Whether you're relaxing on the deck, hosting summer get-togethers in the backyard surrounded by a new privacy fence, or simply enjoying the nearby river and natural surroundings, this property captures the essence of Minnesota living. Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage, new roof + windows, expansive asphalt driveway with plenty of parking, and a large rolling yard that make this property both practical and full of potential. Located just minutes from Monticello amenities while still offering a quiet, country feel, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy space, scenery, and versatility—all in one.
