The centerpiece of the main level is the updated expansive kitchen, complete with a breakfast nook, distinctive cabinetry that adds a touch of uniqueness, and abundant storage. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room provides a cozy spot for relaxation while the 3-season porch with louvered windows allows you to savor the beauty of backyard year-round. Incredible outdoor oasis featuring large patio, a sport court, hot tub and a full-size 20 x 40 saltwater swimming pool. A quick drive to MSP airport and both downtowns.
