Because home is more than a place — it's where connection, creativity, and legacy are built. 955 McKnight Rd S isn’t just a custom-built 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. It’s a platform for living intentionally. Designed with light, flow, and flexibility in mind, this property invites you to lead a life of purpose—whether you're gathering with loved ones, working from home, hosting generations under one roof, or simply enjoying stillness in nature. The main level offers a seamless open floor plan filled with natural light, thanks to well-placed skylights and warm wood flooring throughout. Three bedrooms sit alongside a welcoming family room, kitchen, and a sunken living room that invites conversation and connection. The living room centers around a fireplace and features both a built-in sitting area and custom bookcases—spaces that say, “Stay a while.” The dining room can be formal or casual, offering flexibility for how you live and gather. The large owner’s suite serves as a personal sanctuary, complete with a spacious bathroom that includes a custom soaking tub, double sinks, and a separate room for the toilet and additional sink—designed with both comfort and privacy in mind. The lower level was purpose-built with adaptability at its core. Featuring a private entrance, full kitchen, and separate living space, it’s ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or a full-scale home business. The recently upgraded lighting in the foyer, dining room, family room, and even the garage—along with a new floodlight—adds warmth and functionality. The oversized 3-car garage includes extra outlets for shop use, and even has a drain between the garage and driveway, making it perfect for hands-on projects or year-round tinkering. Set in the peaceful Highwood Hills neighborhood, this home offers the rare combination of city convenience and suburban tranquility. You’re just minutes from 3M, downtown St. Paul, I-94 and I-494, and the amenities of Woodbury. Whether you prefer St. Paul Public Schools (ISD 625) or North St. Paul/Maplewood (ISD 622), both are accessible—with a bus stop conveniently located across McKnight Rd for easy transportation. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to walking and biking trails, Henry Park, and Battle Creek Park with its expansive dog park. For commuters, bus stops—including the new Gold Line and a park-and-ride lot at Lower Afton and Highway 61—are less than two miles away. Outside, this home shines with intention. The beautifully landscaped lot is framed by mature trees that offer year-round privacy. A large, fenced front yard features perennial gardens, boulders, and outdoor stairs to the street—creating a private, park-like setting. In the back, you'll find a fully fenced, private oasis with multi-level patios, custom retaining walls, and the property is already wired for Invisible Fence brand—just add the unit and your pets are ready to roam safely. This isn’t just a house. It’s a space designed to serve your life. A home that meets you where you are—and grows with you as you evolve.
