Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees on a peaceful Orono street, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home delivers the kind of warmth and intention that takes time to find. The beadboard-wrapped foyer sets the tone immediately, opening into an airy main level where hardwood floors and generous natural light connect a relaxed living room, dining space, and fully updated kitchen. White shaker cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a gas range, stainless appliances, and brass-bracketed open shelving give the kitchen a clean, current character without sacrificing warmth. A sliding glass door off the dining area opens to a spacious back deck, making the move from dinner table to evening air effortless. An oversized main-level laundry room with butcher block counters quietly earns admiration from every buyer who walks through, and a finished lower-level room adds meaningful flexibility as a third bedroom, home office, or creative retreat.
Outside, a large deck descends to a deep, tree-enclosed yard anchored by a fire pit made for unhurried evenings. A detached garage and a new roof and gutters installed in November 2025 provide the kind of practical confidence that matters. Crystal Bay Playground, Dakota Ridge Trail, and Lake Minnetonka are all steps from the front door. The lake sits just on the other side of the trail, and on clear winter days it is visible right from the front windows. Served by award-winning Orono Schools and set within a neighborhood that genuinely earns the word private, this is a compelling entry point into one of the west metro's most coveted communities.
