Most people start a home search with the numbers: bedrooms, baths, square feet. The people who end up happiest start somewhere else. They start with how they want to live. If that looks like mornings with the dog at the Rice Creek Off Leash Area, evenings facing trees instead of a neighbor’s fence, and enough room for everyone to spread out, this is that house. It backs to nature in a private setting. Inside you’ll find five bedrooms, a large eat-in kitchen, a huge living room, a sunroom full of natural light, and two full baths. The finished walkout lower level includes a bonus space that bends to whatever your life needs. The roof is two years old, and walking and biking routes are close by. Mounds View Public Schools.
