    What's special

    Set among the treetops in Shoreview’s desirable Evergreen Valley neighborhood, this special recently refreshed and updated home offers a wonderful blend of nature, comfort and thoughtful timeless design. Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac, the home enjoys beautiful tree-filled retreat-feel views from nearly every window and multiple decks that make it easy to enjoy the surrounding landscape throughout the seasons. The spacious floor plan features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with open spaces and a well-designed divided bedroom plan offers excellent flexibility, including a main-level bedroom and a lower-level bedroom. Unique architectural details, including curved walls and graceful curved staircases, add personality and charm throughout the home. The lower level offers even more versatility with a game room, wet bar, exercise area and media room, along with two separate storage rooms for added organization and convenience. Newly added media room furniture is included with the home. Outdoors, beautifully landscaped grounds, an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit create a welcoming setting for gatherings with family and friends, while the multiple decks provide peaceful spaces to relax and take in the surrounding treetop views. There have been many recent improvements over the past two months, including professional painting in more than half of the home’s rooms, new light fixtures, a new kitchen backsplash, select exterior painting, and a new lower-level bathroom vanity and sink. For the buyer looking toward the future, the home also presents an interesting long-term equity opportunity: the existing primary bedroom plumbing could potentially be extended to the main level to create an ensuite to the existing main bedroom using a portion of the Den’s room space. This offers an intriguing option for adapting the home to changing needs over time, subject to design, permitting and feasibility. Prime location with Snail Lake Park and Beach just minutes away, offering a beach, picnic areas and play spaces, along with several other nearby parks and recreational opportunities. Convenient highway access makes getting around the Twin Cities easy. This custom built home is turn key ready for move in and a special opportunity.
