This house showcases the WONDERS of nature. This one-of-a-kind 2 Bed, 1 Bath home is tucked quietly into Observation Hill overlooking two natural beauties: Buckingham Creek and Lake Superior. This yard boasts thoughtful landscaping that comes to life in all seasons: perennial gardens, three leisurely decks, fruit-bearing plants, a fenced garden, a Shoreview Gardens native garden, and adjacent public land to enjoy forested wilderness with access to Buckingham Creek. Step inside to an updated entryway with lots of storage. The living room feels so inviting with refinished hardwood floors and thoughtful built-ins. Two bedrooms with different personalities, including one with a private patio boasting breathtaking sunrises over Lake Superior. The bathroom joins the bedrooms on the main level with a peek-a-boo view of the lake. Downstairs, you’ll find an open concept eat-in kitchen with modern amenities and cozy living room boasting a gas fireplace centerpiece. Step into the utility room for laundry, storage — and your very own bedrock outcrop! This house wasn’t just built LIKE a rock, but was built ON a rock. Modern conveniences include vinyl siding, a newer furnace and air-conditioning. Don’t miss the 2-car garage, potting shed, and fire pit as well. This convenient central location with easy access to trails and downtown makes every day a delight. Don’t miss your chance to explore this unique home!
