Description
Welcome to “Noretta Nest,” a rare and private retreat tucked into Upper North Mankato on an expansive 2.26-acre in-city lot. Set on a quiet no-outlet street, this beautifully maintained walkout rambler offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and thoughtful updates. The home’s exterior features timeless wood shake siding and a striking Chilton flagstone accent wall, freshly painted in 2024. A breezeway connects the attached two-stall garage and includes convenient access to the backyard via a private staircase. A concrete parking pad provides additional parking. The grounds are exceptional, with mature trees including northern catalpa, walnut, oak, maple, and ironwood, along with a paver walkway, fresh black mulch, patio, fire pit area, and an 8x10 storage shed with roll-up door. Inside, the open-concept main level is warm and inviting, centered around a gas fireplace with custom Chilton flagstone surround. Luxury vinyl flooring spans the main living areas, complemented by original hardwood floors in the two main-level bedrooms. The fully remodeled kitchen (2022) features quartz countertops, a large center island with seating for four, Zellige tile backsplash, Frigidaire Gallery stainless steel appliances, a convection glass-top range, Zephyr vent hood, and a walk-in pantry with LED lighting. The main-level bathroom was also updated in 2022 and includes a walk-in shower and quartz vanity. All windows have been replaced in recent years and are in excellent condition. Insulation was updated in 2022 in the attic and main-level walls, improving overall energy efficiency. The walkout lower level offers a spacious family room with a second gas fireplace, large picture window, and direct access to the backyard. Brand new carpet (2026) runs throughout. A third bedroom with daylight windows, a versatile flex space with double sink (ideal for hobbies or projects), and a ¾ bath add functionality. The laundry area includes a Speed Queen commercial-grade washer, gas dryer, utility sink, and optional 220 outlet for electric dryer conversion. Mechanical highlights include a 200-amp electrical panel (2022), high-efficiency on-demand water heater (2022), Weil-McLain gas boiler (2022), and two mini-split systems for cooling.
