Beautiful Rambler Walk-out home across the street from Orchard Lake  

This home was completed in February 1999 as a model and is situated on .613 acre.  We are the original owners, just the two of us, so the house is 'very gently used'.  We have invested over $300K in improvements since 1999.  The home was professionally landscaped in October 1999 including a full irrigation system and pond/waterfall feature.  In July 2008 $180K was invested in replacing the home's exterior (not mold related) and in August 2008 an additional $35K of landscape improvements were completed.  The relaxing sound of the cascading water from the pond/waterfall in the front yard is a big plus for the office and front patio seating area.  The home has a full security/fire alarm system.  We consider this a highly desirable location because of the semi rural feel yet you are close to the Cities, across the street from Orchard Lake (244 acre water skiing/fishing lake) and you can walk to the Murphy Hanrahan Nature Reserve.  As well, the home is in the coveted Lakeville South High School zone, 2 miles from I35, and 20 minutes from MSP. 

The house has 4,000+ sf of living space.  There are 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.  The main living level has a formal entry with large coat closet, master bedroom & bathroom with a jetted tub, double vanity, and large walk-in closet, office with a closet & bay window (facing south), living room (huge picture windows - facing the woods), dining room (custom designed wood floor), kitchen with gorgeous 'Bamboo' granite countertops and island - installed in 2007, large breakfast bay, hearth room, mud room, laundry room w/pull out iron board, pantry and a guest bathroom. The two-sided fireplace opens to the living room and the hearth room.  The office, living room and Master suite are carpeted, the laundry room is linoleum, and the rest of the main level has hardwood flooring.  There is a 933 sf 3-car garage, finished and insulated.

There are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the lower level.  We spent $17K in November 2008 on a new full bath in one of the bedrooms (Noche travertine shower) - it is beautiful!  The 'great room' is huge with a wet bar and loads of handsome wood cabinet storage/shelving on either side of the big screen TV nook.  There is a bay window 'room' with a ceiling fan - perfect for a card/game table.  The entire lower level is carpeted with the exception of the utility and bathrooms.  French sliding glass doors lead outside to a gorgeous landscaped yard with native woods beyond.  Wildlife passing through includes deer, wood ducks, mallard ducks, pileated woodpeckers, orioles, owls, and the occasional hawk.
