Not your cookie-cutter split level! Fun color palette throughout this smart floor plan, with bedrooms and living areas on both levels. This home is conveniently located on newly-refinished hwy 12 (new road, new sidewalks, new city septic), yet set back from the road and tucked behind a gorgeous shade maple on this 1/3-acre lot. The back yard is a peaceful oasis, bordered by the abundant, green horizon of farm fields and dotted with trees like pine and apple. Appreciate the large garage with storage loft and tall garage doors – perfect for a utility van or pickup truck. Recent investments include: New screens for the windows and a NEW ROOF in 2023. Come appreciate small-town living. You’ll have most everything you need here in Montrose, yet you’re less than 15 minutes from Buffalo to the north, 30 minutes from Waconia to the south, or 30 minutes from Wayzata or Ridgedale Mall to the east. Welcome to country living within reach of the city, and affordable living near the recreational lakes of the west metro!
