Property Description

Birch Lake Woods is one of the most sought-after planned neighborhoods by Pratt Homes in all of White Bear Lake, with a very strong sense of community. Located just two houses from the neighborhood park, two blocks from the White Bear Sports Center, and two miles to either 35E or downtown White Bear Lake—both offering restaurants, services, and everyday conveniences—the location is hard to beat. One thing that sets this neighborhood apart is the pride of ownership you'll notice as you drive through, with each home unique in its own right. From the moment you pull up, you'll be drawn in by the curb appeal: a handsome cement driveway and beautiful plantings and gardens that make it clear a green thumb lives here. Step inside this contemporary cottage—updated throughout and sure to impress (see supplements). Your eyes are immediately drawn to the gleaming quarter-sawn oak floors that run across the majority of the main level, then up to the soaring vaulted architecture of the great room and its abundance of windows. Just to your left is the 4th bedroom, which also makes a wonderful office with nice views. A bonus half bath with marble floors connects the 4th bedroom through to the kitchen area. Toward the rear of the home is the formal dining room with a bow window, adjacent to the new kitchen featuring custom black walnut cabinets, granite countertops with a unique leather-style finish, stainless steel appliances, and a tile backsplash. A cozy nook offers an inviting spot for an informal meal, and the open-concept family room shares the space with the kitchen—great for gathering and keeping the cook part of the action. The family room's slider door walks out to the backyard. Upstairs is functionally pleasing, with three bedrooms on one level. The primary sits at the rear of the home overlooking the backyard, offering a 3/4 ensuite bath and a spacious walk-in closet. The unfinished lower level is a bonus—waiting for your finishing ideas to add square footage, or serving as a wonderful space for a plethora of storage. Now step into the backyard and its calming, retreat-like feel. Enjoy quiet meals on the massive 32x11 deck, or host friends and family for fun get-togethers. The yard is wrapped in a wood privacy fence with an abundance of plantings and overall serene privacy. You really can't say enough about this one—you simply have to come see it to appreciate it.
