Welcome to 3308 81st Ave N. Located on a private lake, situated in a park like setting only 12 mi. north of Downtown Minneapolis. Many perks and thoughtful updates to this home: solar panel system, universal EV charger, mini-split added to the garage along with 100 amp service dedicated to the garage. Home had an electrical update to 200 amp service in 2022, roof in 2017, big ticket mechanicals, updated plumbing, and fixtures throughout the home. The large yard is fully fenced in. Inside the home high end finishes were added, including imported Saltillo clay tiled entry, fully renovated bathrooms with 2 of them boasting heated marble flooring, and rain shower systems. The Primary bedroom has it’s own ensuite bathroom with newly tiled shower, walk in closet, and separate double closet. The bedroom located across the hall has a custom closet, built-in storage and loft bed. The living room, dining room and kitchen feature vaulted ceilings, beverage bar with mini-fridges in the dining room and access to the composite deck which just had new railings installed. Enjoy great evening views of the lake and back yard from the deck. Off the living room you will find the 4-season sunroom that is freshly painted and has new flooring. In the lower level you will find two bedrooms, spacious family room, a second kitchen with custom soft-close cabinetry and pull out shelving, a dining area anchored by the fireplace with custom mantel made of driftwood from the Mississippi River, a ¾ bath featuring heated marble floors and rain shower. The entire lower level was completely redone including new flooring throughout. The laundry/utility room is also in the lower level and provides a nice amount of room for storage. Numerous smart home items such as keyless entry, thermostat, irrigation, security etc. Lower level opens to the 500 sq foot patio over looking the lake.
Birch Grove, located between West Broadway Avenue and the Mississippi River corridor, is a residential and park-adjacent Brooklyn Park neighborhood with mid-century ramblers and a greenbelt feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Broadway Avenue & 85th Avenue North area, where small storefronts, service counters, and everyday errands set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Housing reads as practical and low-slung, with mature trees and deep setbacks shaping the streetscape. Nearby riverfront trails and broad park lawns pull daily routines outdoors. Community time often orbits local staples like Wagner’s Drive-In, Forgotten Star Brewing, and the historic Earle Brown Heritage Center. The geography stays grounded in wide arterials, pocket parks, and quick connections to the river valley.
