BRICK BEAUTY — WITH A PRIVATE GARDEN-LEVEL APARTMENT! Quality lives here — in every oak floorboard, every handcrafted cabinet, and every thoughtful upgrade completed by trusted Faribault artisans. This storybook ranch sits tucked on a quiet street, on an oversized 0.312-acre slice of heaven, where it feels like a getaway— with space to stretch, garden, gather, and unwind. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen remodel by Orland Anderka Construction (a premier Faribault contractor) — a space that radiates warmth, quality, and heart. Gleaming oak floors pair beautifully with honey-toned Beechwood cabinetry, complete with everyone’s favorite...pull-out drawers! Stainless steel appliances sparkle against the natural wood tones, and a tuck-away ironing board adds a clever twist of everyday delight. The oak flooring flows seamlessly into the dining and living rooms, creating an open, happy space. Throughout the home, newer casement windows bring in natural light and peace of mind. Installed by Swanson Construction and crafted by Vector Windows of Fergus Falls, these premium vinyl windows reflect true Midwest quality — built to last and made close to home. The main-floor bath, remodeled by Tom Whipple & Sons Construction, showcases craftsmanship and attention to detail with a beautiful walk-in shower and clean, thoughtful finishes. Downstairs, the walkout level is a fully private apartment, thoughtfully designed with its own kitchen, living room, full bath, laundry, patio, and dual private entrances. Whether it’s multi-generational living, a long-term guest space, a creative studio, or a tucked-away spot for your teen or college student, this apartment adapts beautifully to your story. It can flex with your lifestyle and grow with you — offering comfort, independence, and endless possibilities. And if separate quarters aren’t needed, it also lives beautifully as part of a single-family home. Outside, updates continue with a newer roof, gutters, and leaf screens — also completed by Whipple & Sons — plus newer metal siding on the back. Add a newer furnace (2020) and an attached two-car garage, and the result is a home that doesn’t just check boxes — it makes you want to kick off your shoes and stay awhile. The backyard is your oasis, complete with a sunny deck for morning coffee and patios that invite you to grill, lounge, and savor the peace. Walk to Shattuck–St. Mary’s, Roosevelt School, the Minnesota Academy for the Deaf, the Minnesota Correctional Facility, and Legacy Golf. A true east-side treasure — ready to charm your socks off!
