What's special

Fenced in yardExtra large lotCovered front porchSecluded back patioOpen floor planPlenty of natural lightMany windows

Mature maple trees and an extra large lot make this city home feel more like a private, rural estate. A covered front porch, a fenced in yard, and a secluded back patio provide functional areas to enjoy the seasons. This home itself is just over 1900 total square feet and has 3 bedrooms and 1 ¾ bath. Modern appliances and an open floor plan, along with the many windows, make the home feel open and airy, with plenty of natural light. It is accessible by the street or alley. A two car garage with heat as well as a small guest cabin are all part of the package. There are so many special touches that set this home apart. Reclaimed barnwood has been incorporated with a modern flair. Enjoy the rustic beauty in the many walls, ceilings, and floors that give the home a cozy build. The city of Fosston has a flourishing business community, expanded health care facilities, and a reputable school system. This home is close to all of these. This won’t last long.
