Property Description
Welcome to the Crown Jewel of Shafer— Ah, the serenity! Nearly every aspect of this beautifully updated split-level has been thoughtfully refreshed and UPDATED, inside and out, leaving you with little to do but move in and enjoy! Set on a corner lot of nearly half an acre adjacent to a wetland preserve, this is country-style living at its best, with natural surroundings, opportunities to spot an abundance of local wildlife and outdoor recreation all part of the appeal.
The current owners have touched just about every corner of this home. The main level features new LVP flooring, fresh paint throughout — including the kitchen cabinetry — plus new trim, doors, hardware and contemporary window treatments. Popcorn ceilings have been replaced with a clean knockdown texture throughout, while EXTENSIVE electrical updates include new switches, outlets, ceiling lighting and dimmers. The attention to detail is impressive! The living room makes a statement with a beautiful accent wall and electric fireplace, while the refreshed kitchen features a butcher-block center island and plenty of space to gather. All three bathrooms have also been completely updated, including a stylish upper-level bath with a tiled surround and lighted, fog-free mirror.
With nearly 2, 400 finished square feet, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and an abundance of living space, this home feels spacious from the moment you walk in. Three bedrooms upstairs and two on the lower level offer flexibility for family, guests, a home office or gym.
The finished lower level takes versatility to another level, with a separate family room and dedicated media room featuring step-up stadium seating — perfect for movie nights, gaming or cheering on your favorite team.
Outside, the updates continue with an overhauled deck featuring new boards, a built-in bar and surrounding shelving, plus a new 16x10 shed, fresh landscaping rock and a paver patio. The insulated and finished three-car garage features oversized doors and extensive LED lighting, providing plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies and projects. The driveway has also been recently sealed. And for a fun finishing touch, exterior recessed lighting changes colors to suit the seasons, holidays or your mood!
Additional improvements include a 2021 furnace, humidifier, Nest thermostat, Ring cameras, new smoke and CO detectors, ceiling fans throughout and blackout blinds. From the flooring and fixtures to the electrical, bathrooms, kitchen, garage and outdoor spaces, this home has been extensively refreshed and UPDATED with an incredible amount of care and attention to detail.
All this in a great Shafer location with access to the St. Croix Valley's parks, recreation and small-town amenities. If you've been looking for space to spread out, a home with an impressive list of updates and a setting that lets you enjoy a little more of nature, this could be the one. Come see why Shafer living is all about the serenity!
