Property Description for 112 W Glencrest Drive Mankato MN 56001 - MLS# 7160765

Rarely does a custom-built, one-owner, full-stone home from 1954 come along, and rarer still on .69 wooded acres in Hilltop Mankato. This sprawling one-level mid-century design has the bones, scale, and character that new construction can't replicate. The kitchen is built around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone wall that is the heart of the home. A see-through, wood-burning fireplace connects the kitchen and dinette to the living room, framed by a hand-hewn mantel and rough-sawn beams that run overhead. Beside it, the cooktop sits in a recessed stone alcove under a copper hood, with a Wolf wall oven built into the stone below, set off by wood surrounds and wrought-iron hardware. It's a true hearth-style cooking wall. The U-shaped layout, knotty pine cabinetry with lighting underneath, and granite-style counters wrap around it, with room to keep the character or reimagine the finishes. Living spaces are super-sized throughout, and large windows frame panoramic views of the wooded lot. The sunroom, with new Andersen windows, opens to a low-maintenance composite deck overlooking the patio and trees. Bedrooms are large, with impressive closets and storage throughout, including a cedar-lined closet. The primary suite has a Hollywood-glam 3/4 bath, and the roomy foyer has a great closet and iconic terracotta-toned tile. The lower level was built for entertaining, with a shuffleboard floor, wet bar with stainless sink, fireplace grill, and 3/4 bath. A good-sized extra room could be a fourth bedroom with the addition of an egress window. A bomb-shelter-style storage room under the double attached garage is accessible from the basement, and a full-height built-in shed under the deck is ideal for patio furniture, firewood, and lawn equipment. Major systems are in place, including a steel roof and a Carrier furnace. The home is livable today, with original finishes ready for a fresh vision and a structure that is sturdy and strong, so your investment goes into style rather than repairs. Set between ravines and one minute from Mayo, Mankato Clinic, and downtown, this is a rare opportunity for a DIYer, renovator, or design-minded buyer to create something exceptional.
