I’ve never seen a better hobby farm this close to Chaska. I timed it and was in downtown Chaska in a little over five minutes after I left the circular drive. This is clearly a classic case of having the best of both worlds, or maybe even having your cake and eating it, too. The point I’m laboring over is that this home offers the leisurely pace of country living without being far from the amenities of city life.
The home is a 1933-built classic farm house that has been extensively remodeled. It has a little more than 2,200 square feet of gracious living space on three floors. The four bedrooms are all upstairs and all are good sized. There are bathrooms on each level as well. Trust me when I say that this is a rarity in farm house style homes.
The inside has been beautifully restored and remodeled: from the hardwood floors, to the built-in pantry, to the oversized trim, this home sparkles. Lots of windows flood the home with sunshine and bring those warm summer breezes inside. This little piece of Chaska real estate is just waiting for new owners to care for it as much as the current owners have. You can feel the love and care put into this home.
The main floor features an updated kitchen, formal dining room, sitting room, laundry/office area and my favorite room in any farm house, the porch. To me, porches scream, ” It’s the weekend, come join me as you read the paper over a cup of Linda’s famous coffee and take an occasional nap.” Trained to follow directives from an early age, I am forced to comply, especially the part about the nap.
But this exceptional home is also about possibilities. Granted, it would be easy for someone to buy this home and live here forever, but what if they wanted to use the numerous outbuildings for something other than raising farm cats? What if they had a landscape company or other construction-related business? Or maybe they wanted to have a horse or Llama operation? Or maybe an animal rescue and adoption service company? And they wanted to have it close to the rest of the world. Then this is the perfect place for all those things and more. Take a moment and count the number of buildings in the top photo and see how many uses you could come up with for this outstanding property.
After you are completed with that brain-draining task, you need to take a break. How about grabbing a big glass of lemonade and takin’ a few minutes to rest along side your own personal stream and waterfall. You mean you don’t have a personal stream and waterfall? I think I can help you with that. Just give me a call.
