Hi... 20 years ago, we had a fantasy about living in a home that was equal parts "wilderness" and "neighborhood" .... surrounded by gorgeous views of nature, trails, wonderful neighbors but one mile from 694 and within 20 minutes of either downtown Minneapolis or Saint Paul. After several years of looking, we found 67 Bridgewater Drive in Vadnais Heights. Now, with the kids gone, it is our time to "go smaller"... and your opportunity to consider life in this wonderful location and home.Basically, the home is situated atop a hill overlooking the 1200 acre Vadnais / Sucker Lake Regional Park (and extensive walking / biking trail system). It has a Minnesota Kasota Limestone front exterior ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasota_limestone ) with stucco on sides and rear. It features a Main Floor and a Lower Floor that can function as a semi-private living unit if desired (each has its own kitchen, bath etc). Original owner planned it for elderly aunts... but our kids adored the semi-separate feel of it. We are in the (highly-regarded) Moundsview School District.So, look at the details and photos below. We are looking to test interest and are likely to pursue discussions in the mid-to-upper 300's. If you might be in that category, email us and we'd be glad to have you over for a look.67 Bridgewater DriveVadnais Heights, Minnesota 55127(approx. 3,000 sq. ft.)MAIN FLOOR (approx. 2,000 sq. ft.)- Master Bedroom (17x14) (with walk-in shower)- Additional bedroom or Den (12x13)- Additional full bath- Kitchen (16X10)- Family Room (16X16) (with wood-burning fireplace)- Dining Room (12x16)- Formal Living Room (16x20) (with wood-burning fireplace)- Laundry (5.5 x11)- Large elevated Deck overlooking the Vadnais ForestLOWER FLOOR - Walkout (approx 1,000 sq. ft.)(Designed as a semi-private apartment for elderly relatives, but our kids adored the semi-separated feel of it).- extra wide, central, open stairway- Two bedrooms (15x12)- Common Living Area (24x15)- Full Kitchen (15x8)- Full Bath- Two very large storage rooms- Walk-out to back yardThe Front yard you can see. The back yard is naturally sloping (the house was built further back toward the Forest). Finally... the front of the house "features" two large carved stone wildlife friezes... by Henry Valiukas, a semi-renowned Minnesota stone carver (he is said to have worked on restorations on the Capitol, Hill House and Cathedral... he has a small park in Saint Paul named for him) ( http://www.startribune.com/local/11579891.html ) and long-time employee of the original owner of the home (ask me, its an interesting story). Same artist created stained glass windows associated with windows alongside main entrance and master bath.Reply to this post and let us know if this sounds interesting to you. 04/16/15
