After nearly a quarter century of creating special family memories in this beautiful Pepper Ridge neighborhood rambler, the current owners open their door allowing the next, new, owner to experience their own memory-making journey; a journey sure to be both exciting and magical. The sharp curb-appeal is enhanced by the durable, long-lasting concrete driveway, timeless stone accents and meticulous landscaping. An attractive new front door extends the next greeting as you step inside the spacious foyer with initial views of the back yard and newer, master craftsman-installed solid oak flooring. Family and guests will organically gravitate to the kitchen offering newer appliances, countertops, tile backsplash and rich oak cabinets. The formal dining room and living room flow harmoniously to create areas for dynamic and spirited entertaining while simultaneously capturing magical and unique views of the wooded and private backyard. The patio door further encourages your presence on the elevated and spacious deck taking full advantage of the adjoining 36-acre Pine Tree Valley Park. Enjoy the allergy-friendly wood flooring in all areas of the main level as well as the newly updated main bath. The walkout lower level offers an extension of the main level entertaining theme with its spacious, well-lit family room highlighted with the cozy, corner, natural gas fireplace and access to the patio. The additional bedroom and full bath on this lower level offer an ideal setup for teens, adult children or guests. All carpeting on this level is neutral and newer. A very practical laundry/mechanical/storage room is home to a full-sized washer and dryer. Additional features and benefits that will separate this home from the competition: New roof, siding, windows, landscaping, kitchen sink and faucet, light fixtures, interior paint, and walk-in closets in both main level bedrooms. Pine Tree Valley Park includes paved walking trails and is part of the larger Cottage Grove Park system including miles of trails. Tucked away from busy streets, freeway noise and through-traffic, the location is ideal. Under 10-minutes to: Highway 61, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Kohl’s, Aldi, Hy-Vee, Caribou, Junction 70 Grill, Las Margaritas, Cassinis, and highly-rated Lisu’s Thai Taste to name a few. Move-in ready.
