Sellers are downsizing, giving you the opportunity for pristine, better-than-new living in one of Minnetrista's most sought-after neighborhoods! Built just a year and a half ago, this home still has that new-home smell and shows like a model, without the wait. Set on a corner lot with no neighbors directly behind or beside you, this home overlooks a peaceful pond for a setting that feels both open and private. Inside, nearly 3,000 finished square feet offer 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with the ease of main-level living for those who want everything within easy reach. The main-level primary suite features a large step-in shower and double sinks. Main-level laundry adds everyday convenience. The lower level is anything but basement-like with daylight/lookout windows that flood the space with natural light, giving it a bright, main-level feel. The additional family room space makes it ideal as a separate spot for kids or guests. The sellers have upgraded this home with over $7,000 in custom, high-quality window treatments throughout, a reverse osmosis water filtration system in the kitchen, and have activated the radon mitigation system, as well as adding a whole-home water softener. Details that don't happen on new construction, but provide peace of mind. The home has a spacious 3-car garage with room for vehicles, toys, and storage. Woodland Cove is in a top-rated school district, earning an overall "A" grade on Niche.com. The neighborhood itself is designed for every stage of life, with a playlot for little ones, a clubhouse and pool for gathering and relaxing, and a wide variety of housing styles that make it easy for multi-generational groups to live comfortably close to one another. For those who love an active, outdoor lifestyle, you're just minutes from Lake Minnetonka as well as the Lake Minnetonka and Dakota Rail Regional Trails — perfect for biking, walking, and enjoying all four seasons. Yet despite the tucked-away, away-from-it-all feel of Minnetrista, everyday conveniences are close at hand with a Caribou Coffee, Mackenthun's grocery store, and The Cove Wine & Spirits at the end of the street. A quick drive brings you to the new Costco in Chaska or the extensive shopping and dining options in Chanhassen. This is a rare opportunity to own a like-new home in a vibrant, amenity-rich community without the wait.
