2841 Ella Lane Hopkins, MN 55305

Welcome to this exceptional soft contemporary on a beautiful .5 acre lot on Ella Lane, a quiet seven-home street in a prime location. This is a home that has been meticulously cared for . . . and it shows! Picture windows abound, allowing you to take in the beautifully landscaped backyard from several vantage points, while also allowing in abundant natural light. Contemporary, but also cozy, this feels like a home-not just a house-the moment you walk in! The foyer invites you into a very open floor plan, with the gourmet kitchen, great room, and dining room all open and accessible to one another, creating an ideal set-up for entertaining. High ceilings and newly installed wide plank hardwood floors add to the allure and classiness of the home. Stunning, but comfortable and casual at the same time. But that's not all! The main floor also includes a spacious primary suite with fireplace, a closed cabinet for your TV, and more picture windows to take in the serenity of the backyard. The primary is topped off with a sumptuous bath, complete with a powerful Jacuzzi, double sinks, and a generous number of cabinets and drawers. The four season porch on the other end of the first floor will both wow and captivate. It is your cabin "up north," but a hallway away-no need to gas up the car or change out of your robe and slippers! The main floor also boasts a large mud room before entering the three car garage, which offers extensive storage opportunities. A large upper deck runs the length of the great room and porch and looks over a generously sized patio below, with plenty of room for tables and lounge chairs . . . all around the beautifully maintained pool. And there's more! The lower level is no less inviting than its upper counterpart. The large main room is perfect for entertaining with its built in bar, game table area, setup for large screen viewing, and walk out to the pool. The layout includes four individual bedrooms, one of which currently serves as an exercise room, another as an office. And storage will not be a problem here! A beautiful indoor storage room built with shelves for your holiday dcor, luggage, patio cushions . . . and excellent built ins-three large floor to ceiling cabinets that give you ample space for everything else. Outside is an outdoor storage facility for all of your pool and backyard needs. Laundry and the mechanical room round off this well designed and well appointed lower level. Too good to be true? Not in this case! The location, the design, the inner and outer style, the low maintenance yet beautiful yard that surrounds it-you can truly have it all! Private, quiet, minutes away from the shops you need, with easy access to the major thoroughfares . . . a rare opportunity, indeed! (See supplement for extensive list of homeowner improvements)
