Welcome to a rare combination of peaceful country living and convenient access to the Twin Cities. Nestled on a spacious one-acre lot in Columbus, with a Forest Lake mailing address. This one-owner, custom-built and maintained property offers the privacy, space and tranquility of a cabin retreat while keeping you within an easy commute of work, shopping and destinations in virtually every direction. Thirty minutes from the Twin Cities. The lower level walk-out provides easy access to the outdoors and creates a wonderful connection to the expansive backyard. Step outside and enjoy the patio, gather around the fire pit, relax beneath the trees or simply take in the sights and sounds of nature. The Sellers have recently painted the exterior of the home, garage, and the upstairs. Lighting fixtures have been updated inside and out. Stove and dishwasher are new as of last week. Flooring in the dining/kitchen were replaced four years with hardwood. Sellers have opted not to replace remaining floor coverings, and instead, pass those equity-building improvements on to the Buyers for their own personal choices. The home and land offer a great opportunity to add your own personal improvements, and with a little TLC, you will create significant equity while making it a truly special and personal place to call home. The oversized primary bedroom on the lower level could be split in order to create a fourth bedroom option. If you're looking for room to breathe and peaceful surroundings, this is the perfect place to trade the noise of the city for the peace of the country, without giving up the convenience of access to all your desired distinations.
