Welcome to this one-of-a-kind stunner just one mile off I-35 in the sought-after Northfield School District. The location strikes the perfect balance: rural charm with an urban vibe and effortless access to the Twin Cities. Set on 2.5 acres, this property is designed for living, entertaining, and creating memories. The owners built an incredible 40x80 shop with electricity, a finished concrete floor, side porch, and patio...so amazing they even hosted their wedding there. The long concrete driveway to the shop alone is a huge value, offering both durability and curb appeal.mStep into the backyard and you’ll find endless possibilities: an above-ground pool for summer fun, a chicken coop, and a patch of woods to explore. The flat yard makes the perfect play space, while the existing deck off the garage and a spot ready for a second deck make entertaining a breeze. The heated, finished attached garage is its own highlight, with backyard and basement access, it feels more like a home extension or man cave than a typical garage. Inside, the wow factor continues. A grand foyer welcomes you into the great room where vaulted ceilings and massive windows flood the space with light. The custom kitchen is the heart of the home, with alder cabinetry, stone counters and a large island for easy gathering and on the go meals, and a pantry that once doubled as a powder bath (plumbing still intact for easy conversion). Right off the kitchen, the main-floor primary suite boasts tray ceilings and a spa-inspired bathroom with a zero-entry walk-in tile shower, stone accent wall, and spacious walk-in closet. Upstairs, two bedrooms each with walk-in closets share a full bathroom, creating the perfect retreat for family or guests. The basement is partially finished and ready to nearly double your square footage with your vision, complete with laundry, garage access, and the ultimate luxury: a steam shower and full bathroom that makes every day feel like a spa getaway. Circle Lake access is just steps away, where you can dock your boat, fish from shore, or simply soak in the peaceful views. Clean, custom, and exceptionally cared for, this home feels brand new. More than a house, it’s a retreat...a place where every day feels like a getaway.
