* 24 hour contingency, sellers are accepting back up offers. This spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom 2 story home, is located on almost 2 wooded acres, with a layout designed with entertaining in mind. Minutes from downtown Bismarck, the private lot is near Sibley Park, the Southbay neighborhood, and adjacent to Spiritwood Estates, with quiet roads for walking and biking access all around. Completed in 1996 (with three phases of updates in 2002, 2011 and 2017) it features 3 fireplaces, Cambria quartz countertops throughout the kitchen and all 3 bathrooms with undermounted sinks, slate toned ceramic tile, wood floors and neutral toned carpeting ready to accommodate any decor style or color pallet. Shaker or farmhouse would be a very easy transition from the turn of the century features. The popular black and white kitchen style is only a paint brush away as the solid cabinetry is not veneered. Owners will consider minor update allowances for good qualified offers. This home is an RV owners dream. On the outside, an RV pad with electrical and septic dump extends from a wide driveway.
