Get to know this property.

Stunning 1914 farmhouse moved to this site (new foundation) in 1991. Expertly updated with an exceptional and seamless level of craftsmanship by the owner. Walk into the front foyer with its grand staircase and you’ll be wowed by the natural woodwork, meticulous millwork and classic features. Large living room with two large windows (rough-in for a fireplace) and a beautiful archway into the dining room. Huge formal dining room with built-in buffet and chandelier. There is an office behind the dining room. Wait until you see this kitchen! Breakfast bar with granite island, custom cabinets, double farm sink and subway backsplash. Attached to the kitchen is a useful half bath and mudroom to the 3 car attached garage. Upstairs you’ll find 4 good sized bedrooms (one of which has a private 3/4 bath) and a shared full bath with laundry. Hike up the stairs to the 3rd floor for future finish-able space. In the lower level you’ll find a massive family room, great for more entertaining and workout space. There is also 1/2 bath (roughed in to become ¾) and plenty of room for storage. Enjoy the private 2.47 acre lot from the lovely front porch or back patio. Lots of open lawn space with a wooded perimeter. 25 zone irrigation system, vegetable garden, firepit and cute playhouse. New roof on home and barn 2022. Most windows replace 2023. Water Softener 2018. New furnace/AC 2012. New water heater 2013. Kitchen appliances 2012. The classic red barn adds to the esthetic, but it was built in 2004 and features in-floor radiant heat! Perfect workshop and additional garage space. Just down the road from beautiful Lake Elmo Park Reserve and directly across the street from the BRAND NEW Lake Elmo Elementary School opening for the 2026/27 school year! Home has been pre-inspected
