Welcome to the prestigious Lafayette Woods community of Elk River. As you drive into this sought after development you'll notice stately houses and stunning mature trees guiding you to your new home. This modified two-story is perfectly situated on a lovely treed lot that's nearly .4 acres, and landscaped to give you a park-like setting. Enjoy bon-fires around the fire pit with a nearby shed to keep your wood and lawn & garden tools dry. Iron fencing secures the full backyard, which is spacious enough for a swing set and trampoline, making it perfect for kids and pets. Spend lazy afternoons on the maintenance free deck, complete with planters and a bench, where you can take in the beauty of the raised garden and budding apple trees this spring. From the deck, head inside to the 4 season porch with a sunny disposition. Walls of windows stream in natural light, brand new carpet, and an inviting gas stove will make this space the heart of the home. The sprawling main level is designed for entertainment and function with several living areas including a formal living room, family room with a second gas fireplace, dining room and well appointed kitchen. Abundant cabinetry, a built-in pantry with pull-outs, stainless appliances and a breakfast bar make preparing daily meals something to look forward to. A tucked-away powder room, guest bedroom or office space and convenient main floor laundry round out the first floor. Head upstairs to 3 bedrooms and 2 baths including an owner's retreat with a private 3/4 bath and roomy walk-in closet. The lower level is a blank slate. Will you make it a fantastic movie night destination, gym, art studio or playroom? Storage is plentiful in this home. There are shelves built into the mechanical room in the lower level as well as cabinetry and counter space in the heated 3 stall garage. There will be plenty of space for your bikes and with access to the Woodlands Park System just down the street, you'll need it. Paved trails through the woods will take you all the way to Zimmerman giving you nearly 16 miles round trip from home. You can also bike or walk to Meadowvale Elementary in just minutes while Sauk, Vandenberg and the High School are about a mile away. Welcome Home!
