Welcome to the kind of home that gives you room to grow, room to gather, and room to make it your own. Nestled on nearly a half-acre surrounded by mature trees, this spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, functionality, and opportunity. Built in 2010, the home features a timeless open-concept design with expansive living spaces that naturally bring people together. Whether you're hosting holidays, cheering on the big game, or enjoying quiet evenings at home, the main level flows effortlessly into a large entertaining space while the open lower level provides even more room for movie nights, game tables, a home gym, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering generous proportions, a spacious walk-in closet, and a private bath designed to help you unwind at the end of the day. Large bedrooms throughout the home provide flexibility for family, guests, home offices, or hobbies, while the three-car garage gives you plenty of room for vehicles, toys, and storage. Step outside to a fenced backyard where western exposure delivers beautiful afternoon sunshine and unforgettable sunsets. Spend summer evenings grilling on the composite deck, let kids and pets roam freely, or simply relax beneath the shade of mature trees with the privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. While the home has been well cared for and everything is in working order, it's priced to reflect the opportunity for a new owner to add their own style and cosmetic updates over time. This isn't a fixer-upper—it's a solid, spacious home that presents beautifully today while giving you the chance to build equity as you personalize it tomorrow. Located in one of Cottage Grove's desirable neighborhoods, you'll enjoy convenient access to the Twin Cities while remaining just minutes from the natural beauty and recreation of both the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Whether your weekends involve boating, kayaking, hiking, biking, or simply exploring river towns and local parks, this location offers the best of Minnesota living. If you've been searching for a home that offers exceptional space, a private setting, and outstanding value in today's market, this is one you'll want to experience in person.
