You will love this move-in ready, single level, detached home for so many reasons! The home is an excellent low-maintenance option, and you can head to the airport or on a road trip and just lock your door, confident that the grass will be cut and the snow will be removed. But it doesn't end with low-maintenance, association-maintained detached living! The home features everything on the main level, including a huge heated & insulated garage, a beautiful vaulted sunroom w/a gas fireplace and open living & eating spaces. The primary ensuite is separated from the 2nd bedroom & bathroom, making the 2nd bedroom such a great option for a guest room, hobby room or home office. You will enjoy excellent privacy on your 12 x 10 patio out back because there are no other homes behind you! Further, while some similar homes have a "slab" foundation, this home comes equipped with a concrete crawl space, and that matters! It's softer than a slab. It keeps the space warmer than a slab. And it provides excellent storage space! And speaking of storage, there is also an awesome storage space above the garage, with a pull-down ladder. The list of great attributes just goes on and on - you just have to come see it for yourself. The location is just a few minutes from everything Elk River offers, and this home is absolutely turn-key and ready for you to write its next chapter. Please feel free to check out the 3D Tour to walk through the home virtually.
