***Offer received. Sellers request all offers by noon on Sunday, 9/14*** Over $150K in carefully considered updates make this midcentury-inspired ranch a rare Mendota Heights find. Designed for generous living, the single-story layout offers all facilities on the main level, paired with modern systems and timeless style. The vaulted great room is the showpiece of the home—expansive, light-filled, with west-facing windows, maple hardwood floors, built-in buffet, glass shelving, cabinetry, and a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace. The eat-in kitchen features white enamel cabinets with glass displays, Cambria stone countertops with ample prep space, and premium appliances: Bosch dishwasher, Whirlpool refrigerator (2024), Samsung microwave with exterior venting (2022), GE wall oven, KitchenAid stove, plus updated faucet, disposal, and washer/dryer (2025). The primary suite includes two walk-in closets with custom organizers and a private bath with walk-in shower. Additional main-level highlights include a second bedroom with two closets, updated LED lighting & ceiling fans (2025), fresh paint (2025), and solid-core doors plus 2 pocket doors to allow closing off the kitchen. The lower level is equally impressive with 8.5’ ceilings, a wraparound rec room, built-in billiards table, wood burning fireplaces on both levels, and a drain-tile system with sump pump and battery backup. Attached heated garage includes gas heater, shop sink, direct basement access (future ADU potential), and a 30-amp EV/RV charger (2024). Major updates include: new roof/vents (2021), soffit, fascia, gutters, exterior lighting (2024), correctly sized central air (2025), and all new main-level windows with transferable 10-year warranty (2025). Smart-home features abound: Ecobee thermostat, Moen Flo water monitor, continuous air monitoring system, Ring doorbell, Blink cameras, myQ-enabled garage opener, and Schlage keyless entry (2025). Outdoor living : fully fenced composite privacy fence (2020), refreshed landscaping with new retaining walls, incorporated gutter downspout extensions with popup drains, and eco-friendly clover lawn (2023–25), gazebo with electricity & ceiling fan, and large front terrace. Set on a quiet, no traffic, single-block street near the Mississippi River, parks, trails, tennis courts, and with easy access to I-35E, St. Paul, and Minneapolis—this home lives as beautifully as it looks.
