Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end street in one of Mendota Heights’ most desirable neighborhoods, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and thoughtful design. Set on a large, fenced lot with mature trees, a stone patio, and direct access to a nearby walking path, this property feels like a peaceful retreat while remaining just minutes from shopping, downtown St. Paul, MSP Airport, and highly acclaimed schools including Somerset Elementary and Two Rivers High School. The home offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including three bedrooms on the main level and two additional bedrooms in the fully finished lower level. The spacious lower level, completed in 2007–2008 with full look-out windows, adds exceptional flexibility with a large family room, built-in storage, kitchenette, two bedrooms, and a three-quarter bathroom, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or work-from-home needs. Two gas fireplaces with natural stone surrounds add warmth and character to both the main-floor sunroom and lower-level family room. Lovingly maintained and extensively remodeled by its current owners, this modified split-level has been transformed over the past two decades into a warm and inviting oasis. The main level features an open, light-filled floor plan enhanced by rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, updated windows and doors, custom trim, and beautifully reimagined living spaces. At the heart of the home is the stunning 2020 kitchen renovation, showcasing cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and quality appliances, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. Thoughtful upgrades continue throughout, including an expanded entryway with custom railings, higher ceilings, mudroom with custom cabinetry and beadboard detailing, a charming loft space with skylight, abundant built-in storage, and a rare double-deep four-car garage with room for vehicles, recreational gear, and even an 18+ foot fishing boat. Many recent improvements provide exceptional peace of mind, including a new roof (2025), radon mitigation system, high-efficiency Lennox furnace, new water heater (2026), updated insulation, and numerous cosmetic enhancements throughout. Just a short walk from Wentworth Park with pickleball courts and playgrounds, this is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously updated home in an unbeatable location.
