Discover the serenity and recreation of riverfront living in a quiet neighborhood on the shores of the Mississippi, steps from Rosewood Park. The property has been attentively maintained and significantly improved by the current owners which includes all new windows in 2023 and a shoreline renovation project in 2020 featuring granite rip rap, granite stairs, an aluminum stair and platform system, poured footings for dynamic anchoring, and a maintenance free, boat ready dock system.
THE HOME:
All three floors of this walkout two-story offer views of the Mississippi River. The first floor features a bright floorplan with the kitchen open to the dining and living rooms. Hardwood floors, quartz countertops, and stainless-steel appliances welcome you into the kitchen with ample cabinet storage, ample counter space, and a large center island. The living room is open to the 4-season sunroom with large windows that flood with natural light. Enjoy morning coffee in your vaulted, cedar-cladded sunroom which walks out to the maintenance free deck, all overlooking the river. A large, dedicated office space on the main floor provides a tranquil space to work from home but could easily be converted into a main-floor bedroom with the addition of a closet. There are three bedrooms up, including the primary ensuite with his and her closets. A recently updated, full bathroom serves the two additional bedrooms. The walkout lower level is wide open for relaxing or entertaining guests with ample storage space and a sauna. A covered paver patio is located just through the sliding glass door which is great for watching storms roll in over the river bluff. All sliding doors and windows, except for the windows in the primary bath, have been replaced with high quality, energy efficient, triple-pane windows by Hayfield. The 3-stall garage is wired with 240-amp service which will facilitate an EV charger. A rear garage door from the garage’s 3rd stall provides easy access to the backyard.
THE RIVERFRONT:
The 97 feet of Mississippi River shoreline has been significantly upgraded by the current owners with granite rip rap, erosion resistant fescue grass, landscaping, poured footings for dynamic anchoring/winching, and custom granite stairs. A maintenance free, aluminum-constructed stairway leads down to a maintenance free, boat ready, floating dock system on the river, all built in 2020. The Mississippi River is a recreational body of water that gives you access by boat to nature, fishing, water sports/activities, or social destinations like downtown Anoka or Mississippi Crossings.
THE GROUNDS:
Intelligently designed landscaping and retaining walls facilitate the walkout elevation of the lower level and maximize the usable yard space. Healthy, mature trees adorn the lot. A new Quaking Aspen tree has been planted in the front yard. The inground sprinklers, which source water from the river, was replaced with a new system in 2021. The long, flat, extra wide driveway provides plenty of space for outdoor activities and/or for guest parking.
THE LOCATION:
The property is located on a dead-end street in a quiet, walkable neighborhood. Walk, bike, or boat to Mississippi Crossings and enjoy dinner at Char Blu or boat up the Rum River and dock in downtown Anoka for an afternoon of free concerts at the Riverfront Memorial Park. Reach the nearby Elm Creek trail by bike and explore the nearly endless trail system. Rosewood Park, which features a kids’ playground, is just three lots down the street. The nearest boat launch on the Mississippi River is only a 5-minute drive from the property. Get on the road quickly with easy access to Highways 169 and 10, just minutes away.
