Welcome to this well-loved 2 bedroom, 3-bathroom home in SW Willmar, offering generous living space, a finished basement, and a backyard that truly steals the show. Some homes simply feel different, and this is one of them - a home that has held years of family gatherings, meals around the table, laughter, and memories made across generations. The beautiful sunroom overlooks an established backyard filled with plantings including birch, hostas, irises, peonies, and more - a peaceful place to enjoy the changing seasons.
The main floor previously offered 3 bedrooms, and the current expanded living room layout could easily be converted back to add the third bedroom if desired. The primary bedroom features 2 closets, one of which has plumbing hidden behind the sheetrock from a former washer and dryer setup, offering potential for future main-floor laundry if desired. The finished lower level is roomy and flexible, with space for an additional bedroom or two while still leaving plenty of room for a family room. You’ll also find a rec room complete with pool table and decor, a 3/4 bath, and a large utility/laundry room with great storage.
Updates include new flooring in the living room, approximately 4-year-old basement carpet, vinyl replacement windows, a newer roof, and an epoxy garage floor. The driveway is standard width near the garage, with a widened lower portion that allows for additional off-street parking and room to park up to three vehicles across. While the interior is ready for some cosmetic updating, this home has been very well maintained and cared for. With its square footage, flexible layout, beautiful sunroom, incredible backyard, and extra parking space, this home offers space, charm, heart, and so much potential.
