About this home
**Stunning Historic Gem**
Prepare to be enchanted by this adorable brick home, a timeless treasure built in 1924 by the illustrious Fleckenstein family of Faribault. Lovingly maintained by its current owner’s family since 1961, this residence is filled with warmth and character that beckons you from the moment you arrive.
As you approach the property, the cottage-like charm is amplified by meticulously landscaped gardens, vibrant flower beds bursting with color, and graceful climbing vines that weave their way along the facade, creating an inviting atmosphere of privacy and serenity. Walk beneath the picturesque arbor and step into this enchanting storybook home, where every corner reveals a testament to pride in ownership.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a cozy and functional kitchen that perfectly marries history with modernity. Admire the stunning leaded glass cabinet doors that showcase your favorite dishware, complemented by crisp white and elegant marble countertop and updated appliances that cater to both culinary enthusiasts and casual cooks alike. The formal dining room, with its exquisite corner cabinets, offers an ideal setting for elegant dinners and family gatherings, bathed in natural light from the ample windows that enhance the inviting ambiance.
The living room radiates brightness and openness, featuring original hardwood floors that gleam with history, alongside charming built-ins that add character. Imagine cozy evenings beside the graceful gas fireplace, gathering with loved ones in this welcoming space. The deck, which extends from the living room, serves as a peaceful oasis to savor your morning coffee while immersing yourself in the soothing sounds of nature.
Convenience fills the main floor, where you'll find a beautifully appointed full bathroom adorned with a stunning stained glass window. A spacious bedroom with an expansive closet featuring custom built-ins offers comfort and tranquility. Completing the main floor is a delightful den, perfectly suited as an office or library, which opens to a captivating three-season sunroom—the true jewel of this home. This serene retreat overlooks a magical backyard, reminiscent of a secret garden, where you can unwind with your morning coffee or entertain friends amidst the lush greenery and vibrant flora.
Venture to the upper floor, where abundant space awaits your imagination. This area can easily be transformed into additional bedrooms, a fun-filled game room, or a whimsical craft haven. The lower level offers a stunning escape, showcasing a built-in brick bar and an expansive great room, ideal for lively gatherings, movie nights, or cheering on your favorite team. This level also includes a stylish three-quarter bathroom featuring elegant travertine tile, alongside generous storage options for all your cherished memorabilia and more.
