Perched on a massive, fully fenced .63 acre lot with mature trees, this modern rambler is a suburban dream for modern families. The property backs up to ultimate privacy with a built-in fire pit, a basketball hoop area, raised garden beds, and a storage shed for all your gear. Grill out on the spacious deck while keeping an eye on kids and pets playing safely below, or unwind on the paver patio after bedtime. 155 Acre Purgatory Park has 2 different entrances within 500ft of this house, so you will never be bored while out for a walk/hike/bike ride. Designed for low-stress routines, the main level features three bedrooms on one level, including a primary suite with a gorgeous three-quarters bath and dual sinks. You'll love the sun-drenched flex room with a wall of windows—ideal for a home office, plant haven, or a quiet reading nook. The chef-friendly kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, NEW double ovens, and expansive counter space for meal prep, flowing easily into bright dining and living areas. A dedicated mudroom and main-floor laundry keep sports equipment, backpacks, and daily clutter completely under control. Control the new multi-zone sprinkler system from an app with ease. Downstairs, the sprawling finished basement offers high-impact versatility with plush new carpet, a built-in media center, and plenty of space for a dedicated playroom, home gym, or movie nights. Kids will flip for the secret hidden room behind the bookcase—perfect for a playhouse, gaming den, or massive storage stash—alongside a fourth bedroom and a three-quarters bath. Location-wise, it hits every priority on the checklist. You can walk the kids to the nationally renowned Spanish Immersion program at Clear Springs Elementary, and access the miles of hiking and biking trails at 155-acre Purgatory Park just blocks away. Commuting is a breeze with quick access to Highway 7 and Highway 101, putting you minutes from downtown Minnetonka, Excelsior, and the shores of Lake Minnetonka.
