Property Description

A Northfield Home to Love for Years to Come! Some homes simply feel special the moment you walk through the door—and this is one of them. Set on just over half an acre in beautiful Northfield, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath home has been lovingly owned, meticulously maintained, and thoughtfully cared for by the same owners for more than 30 years. It’s a home filled with warmth, space, and the unmistakable feeling of pride of ownership. The main level welcomes you with a large, light-filled living room featuring vaulted ceilings, creating an open and airy gathering space for everyday living or entertaining. The formal dining area provides the perfect setting for family dinners and holiday gatherings, while the inviting eat-in kitchen features charming built-in seating with the added bonus of storage tucked underneath—a thoughtful detail that makes this home feel both comfortable and functional. The sun-filled main-floor primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat and includes a convenient pass-through to the main-floor full bathroom. A second main-floor bedroom provides added flexibility for family or guests. One of the home’s most enjoyable spaces may be the three-season sun porch, overlooking the beautiful park-like yard. Imagine starting your morning with coffee surrounded by greenery, enjoying a quiet afternoon with a good book, or gathering with friends as you take in the peaceful setting. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level expands your living possibilities even further. A spacious family room with a cozy gas fireplace creates an inviting space to relax, watch a movie, or gather together. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom provide plenty of room for family and guests, while the flexible office area could become a home gym, craft room, hobby space, home office, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. The walk-out design provides easy access to the expansive backyard and adds wonderful versatility to the home. And then there’s the yard. Just over half an acre of beautifully maintained grounds creates a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, and a park-like atmosphere right at home. There’s room to garden, entertain, play, relax, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. Located in the wonderful community of Northfield, this home places you close to parks, schools, bike paths, and all the charm that makes Northfield such a desirable place to live. The nearby presence of Carleton College and St. Olaf College adds to the vibrant character of this special community. After more than three decades of thoughtful care, this home is ready for someone new to create their own memories. It’s spacious, comfortable, and wonderfully maintained, and situated on a truly special piece of land. Come see for yourself why this is the kind of home you’ll want to stay in awhile—and why Northfield is a place so many are proud to call home.
