This pond facing Wooddale-built luxury townhome in The Bluffs on Sans Pierre is Bloomington’s hidden gem! Enjoy 3,364 finished SF and true main level living in a beautifully landscaped community tucked away blocks from I-35W and the Minnesota River.
The vaulted great room with gas fireplace opens to a bright sunroom and a covered deck – both overlooking the pond and fountain. The eat-in kitchen features a center island, abundant cabinetry, quality KitchenAid and Bosch appliances, and an adjacent dining room with access to the deck. The main-level owner’s suite features a soaking tub and separate shower, dual sink vanity, linen storage, and a custom walk in closet with dressers. The spacious main floor also includes a second bedroom/office, separate half bath/powder room, convenient laundry room, and a large pantry and closet.
The fully finished walkout lower level adds 1,632 SF with 10’ ceilings. This level features a very large family room opening to a patio, a flex room (currently an exercise room), custom wet bar with sink/mini fridge/cabinetry, two additional bedrooms, ¾ bathroom, and an office with its own large storage closet.
Exterior features include a rare fenced and gated courtyard, landscaped plantings, and a finished 2 car garage with epoxy floor and space for large vehicles.
Prime access to Minnesota Valley trails for walking or biking plus quick transit via 35W to the greater metro area.
Well-managed homeowner association – managed by Gassen and a volunteer board – with substantial reserves for future improvements. The association covers lawn care, landscaping, snow removal and exterior maintenance of townhomes. Attached units are sprinklered and insured by the association. Garbage and recycling service is also included in the $720 monthly fee.
NOTE FROM THE HOMEOWNERS: We love the casual elegance of this home and the ideal positioning, too. Our townhome is on the east side (the quiet side) of the development. The front yard faces east for morning sunshine on the private fenced courtyard and colorful perennial garden. The deck and patio face west with straight-on views of the central pond with its lovely fountain.
Since this unit was custom-designed for the original owner, it includes unique features, design elements, and upgrades that distinguish it from other units. For example:
a) 10726 is the only unit in the entire development allowed to have a private fenced, gated courtyard.
b) The building may be the only one constructed with 10’ ceilings (nearly 9’ finished) in the lower level.
c) The home's security system, gated courtyard, nearby lamp posts (both in front and rear) and landscape lighting all enhance security.
d) Total finished area (3,364 SF) is larger than most other units, including recent sales.
We updated and upgraded the home extensively from floors to ceilings. Oak hardwood floors were refinished, ceramic tile replaced vinyl floors, and main-floor carpet was replaced with high-quality Karastan carpet. Appliances, furnace, and other mechanical equipment were replaced/upgraded. Custom French doors, office cabinetry, and several new light fixtures were added. Recent updates and meticulous maintenance make the home move-in ready!
The location on the bluffs over the Minnesota River is ideal for nature lovers, with eagles soaring and ducks, geese and turtles enjoying the pond. The boat launch and riverside walking or biking trails are a short stroll down to the river. 106th Street is just a block away providing quick, convenient access to I-35 and the greater metro area, airport, shopping, dining and entertainment.
