Riverfront, single level living with main-floor laundry and plenty of storage, walk/bike/boat to historic downtown. This is it. Original custom-built showpiece, with plenty of vintage personality and a spectacular lot. The main floor offers generous living space, formal dining, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, main floor laundry, and a large pantry/ mudroom leading to the garage. Downstairs, there’s plenty of hangout space, a bedroom/office, a 3rd bathroom, and more storage than you’ll know what to do with. Set on a lush 3/4 acre lot, the outside vibe is countryside estate, with a large park across the street, and southwest views over the river that are pure magic at twilight. The home sits close enough to the water to really enjoy the view, with a FEMA Letter of Map Amendment granted REMOVING the home from the "special flood hazard area" designation (this is a big deal!) This historic pocket neighborhood known as "Whiskey Flats" is a hidden gem- walkable, bike-able, with easy freeway access to Minneapolis and St. Paul. Two LifeTime locations are each 10 minutes away. If you’re new to Anoka, you’re in for a treat. The historic downtown is buzzing with new life including a wine bar, brewery, live theatre, farmers market, a designated social district, multiple bakeries, and a calendar full of community events like concerts, food truck festivals, holiday tree lighting, art festival, classic car show, and more. From your new home, you could bike or boat right into downtown Anoka for dinner, or head across the river to catch live music and fireworks at Mississippi Crossings. This stretch of river is fully recreational, so bring your seadoo, pontoon, fishing boat, or kayak. And when the seasons turn, you’ll share the riverbank with trumpeter swans and foxes. Well-loved by only the 2nd owner over the past 45 years, this home is waiting for you to update & transform it for a new era while enjoying the best of river living.
