LOOK! 'A must see!' 'Mint' home, professionally remodeled to compete with new construction! Gorgeous private wooded lot to the rear, with room for expansion of outbuilding! For you car, it is currently listed as a shed, but so called 'shed' is almost a brand new single car garage! Small car will fit! But legally not a garage! Yet, this home has all the nice features of your modern 2026 construction, but without the high price tag! New kitchen, quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, new bathrooms, some beautifully restored oak floors, along with gutters, vinyl siding, a 'perfectionists' dream home! Recently surveyed lot, please review, about 1/3 acre is on record, but believed possibly larger. Room for new 2 car garage, ask for price and bids. Lower level is clean and ready for rec room. When, considering building a new entry level home in Rochester, you will find this home exceeds the competition!
Northern Heights, located between Elton Hills Drive NW and 55th Street NW, is a residential and park-adjacent Rochester neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and wooded ravines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Elton Hills Drive NW corridor near 55th Street NW, where local errands and a steady weekday rhythm cluster around small storefronts and service stops. Housing leans toward ramblers and split-levels with mature trees and generous setbacks. Side streets feed into pocket parks and trail links that frame daily walks and bike loops. A short drive connects to the Douglas State Trail and the Quarry Hill Nature Center for longer outdoor stretches.
