Here is a bargain beauty: A 4 bedroom one and a half bath home in move in condition in a desirable neighborhood for a third to a half less in price and about half the taxes of similar Twin Cities homes. When you live in this home, you are part of a Blue Zone Project community which means consideration to a long, healthy lifestyle with walking paths, biking trails, and events that build community. In keeping with those values, this home has a clean-burning electric fireplace in the den overlooking the organic garden and yard. There are peaceful far eastern touches in the patio, yard and Japanese rice wallpaper throughout the first floor. A ten-minute walk to the boat launch and trails along the channel, to a park with softball and playground equipment and a warming house. Masses of pelicans converge on the lake in spring and there’s an enthusiastic boating community on the lake. 90 minutes to the Twin Cities and 60 minutes to Rochester. Affordable & peaceful. Yes, you want to live here.
