Welcome to 30435 Ridgewood Ave, situated on nearly 1 acre with beautiful mature trees and grassy area for play or garden! This large split entry has many updates throughout including all the major items every buyer will appreciate: roof, gutters, windows, fiber cement siding, and soon-to-be new furnace - all with warranties! All other mechanicals recently inspected and passed! Other updates include carpet, fresh paint upstairs, and washer/dryer. The main level features a spacious, bright living room, dining room, a beautiful remodeled kitchen with SS appliances, 3 bedrooms and a full bath! Walk-out lower level offers a huge family/rec room with a wood burning stove (the current stove will be removed, but gives you the option to leave it capped for more space or add a new fireplace!), plus a 4th bedroom, 3/4 bath, and large utility/laundry room. 2 car detached garage with room to expand, and a long backyard that's ready for a fence! Great location just minutes from Taylors Falls Interstate State Park, multiple boat launches, Franconia Sculpture Park, and in the desirable Chisago School District! If you're looking for country living close to town, you found it here in Shafer!
