About this home
**Highest and Best due by 8pm tonight (Sunday). Seller to review by 10 am Monday.**
The kind of home where memories are made—building forts in the backyard, gathering around the fireplace on cold Minnesota nights, and stretching out in spaces that change with your life. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in Cottage Grove offers 1,933 square feet of flexible living space and a backyard that is ready for play, gardening, and relaxed outdoor living.
The large, fenced yard sets the scene for summer evenings outside, yard games, firepits, or veggie gardens, with plenty of room to design the outdoor space that fits your lifestyle. An additional shed provides convenient storage for bikes, tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal gear, helping keep the garage and interior spaces organized.
Inside, huge picture windows flood the main level with natural light, making even gray Minnesota days feel brighter. A cozy fireplace anchors the living area, creating an inviting spot for slow weekend mornings, game nights, or movie marathons at home.
Flexibility is a standout feature: the layout offers two potential bedroom-suite options, so you can choose an upper-level retreat or make use of the finished lower level as a second suite. The lower level works well for guests, work-from-home space, hobbies, or multi-generational living, offering separation and comfort when you want it.
Thoughtful storage is available throughout the home, complemented by the backyard shed, so everyday items, outdoor gear, and seasonal décor all have a place without feeling cluttered.
The location brings it all together. Cottage Grove offers a convenient approximately 15–25 minute drive to St. Paul (depending on route and traffic), over 1,500 acres of parkland and open space, and an extensive trail system connecting dozens of parks, all set just north of the Mississippi River for easy access to year-round recreation. This is a community that blends room to breathe with nearby parks and trails, along with quick access to the Twin Cities when you need it—without giving up a quieter neighborhood feel at home
