Outstanding 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom split entry home with an attached 2 car garage in one of Albert Lea's favorite neighborhoods, Shoreland Heights. Near Lakeview, Edgewater & Brookside Parks & Schools this home is near many of the community's amenities but the fenced yard and a great storage shed are good reasons to stay home and work on the yard. Th newer carpet and paint in the living and family rooms are very comfortable and the screened in deck over looking the backyards patio add great space to the open kitchen and dining areas. A great house to call home soon!
