Sold - 5883 Carlson Street, Shoreview
What an absolute pleasure to be bringing this charming cottage, tucked away on a quiet little block in Shoreview, to market. A head to toe, complete renovation that will truly leave you speechless. Come read about all the ways these conscientious sellers have created your next dream home.
The front facade is almost unrecognizable from where it first began. The addition of a front porch complete with a vaulted beadboard ceiling, custom built swing and beautiful cedar decking are a destination you’ll love coming home to.
The exterior upgrades continue with new fiber cement siding, new windows, new roof and front door. New concrete driveway and walkway round out the costly exterior improvements.
Stepping inside, you can’t help but feel the natural light dancing throughout the space. All walls have been removed to create a completely open concept living and dining space.
Refinished wood floors flow throughout along with enameled millwork, paneled doors and shiplap accents.
Quite possibly the most show-stopping moment of them all is the tongue and groove ceiling installed throughout the living space.
The kitchen echoes the same sentiments of custom hickory open shelving, glistening subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry in a smart and efficient floorplan and honed black granite countertops.
French doors lead out to a large, maintenance free deck installed by the homeowners.
Curated lighting, stainless steel appliances and polished chrome plumbing fixtures all tie together the home’s classic aesthetic.
Off one side of the main level living space is a large primary suite. Newer carpet under foot, a large walk-in closet and gorgeous 3/4 ensuite make this a retreat you’ll never want to leave.
The primary bath blends new and old in perfect harmony! An antique bureau becomes a gorgeous vanity with the addition of a quartz countertop. Classic subway tile wraps nearly every surface for a traditional and layered aesthetic.
Two additional bedrooms can be found on the main level - each boasting wood floors, bright windows and large closets.
A main level full bath separates the two bedrooms and repeats the same classic finishes found elsewhere in the home.
The lower level underwent a complete overhaul creating a warm, cozy and inviting bonus living space. Plumbing and electrical throughout the home were replaced in their entirety along with many mechanicals.
Egress windows, sumptuous carpet and charming built-ins make this space feel like anything but a basement.
The fourth bedroom would be an ideal private guest suite or teen zone complete with its own dedicated half bath and exceptionally large closet.
While the interior checks every box you could dream up - the exterior living spaces are just as sweet. Starting with this enormous 16 x 12’ maintenance free deck with stairs leading out into the private backyard.
Extensive landscaping was installed in 2021, professionally designed to pay tribute to all four seasons. With any luck, you’ll be settled in time for the hydrangeas to bloom!
Not to be missed - the crushed granite fire pit, ambient overhead bistro lighting, backyard play house and large two car garage. No more magical setting can be found than right here on Carlson Street.
