Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on 3.1 wooded acres in NW Rochester, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, character, and comfort. With over 5200 sq ft of finished living space, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom Cape Cod-style retreat is surrounded by mature trees, private trails, and a scenic branch of the Zumbro River, bringing nature right to your doorstep.
Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship and sun-filled spaces shine throughout. The main level features red birch hardwood floors and a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, maple cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and quality KitchenAid appliances. The adjacent dinette opens to a TimberTech deck with a natural gas line for grilling, plus a screened 3-season porch, perfect for peaceful mornings or evening wildlife watching.
The vaulted great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace sets a cozy yet grand tone. A formal dining room, built-in audio system, and a dedicated office with custom maple cabinetry offer functionality and warmth.
