    Property Description

    Inspiration Development — Not Just a Home, a Community. Rare opportunity to enter one of the Twin Cities' most distinctive neighborhoods at an entry-level price point. The Inspiration Community in historic Bayport was designed by ecologists — not land planners — and it shows. Spanning 250 acres with 252 home sites and an extraordinary 70% open space, the development is woven together by 170 acres of restored prairie, oak savanna, wetland, and woodlands purposefully managed to restore the native Minnesota ecosystem, improve wildlife habitat, and support water quality. Here, "living with nature" isn't a marketing phrase — it's the entire design philosophy. Nestled in the St. Croix River Valley just off the river itself, this craftsman-style two-story home sits directly across from open space and wetlands — your view from the front porch is a lush natural basin, not a neighbor's garage. Sought-after Hardie Plank siding, rare at this price point, gives the home its distinguished curb appeal, complemented by a welcoming front porch that sets the tone for everything inside. Step through the front door onto rich maple plank flooring that carries through the entire main level, accented by maple trim throughout. Immediately to your right, the homeowners' beloved "drop zone" — a thoughtfully designed mudroom off the garage with seating, coat storage, and hat and glove organization — keeps everyday life tidy and separated from the rest of the home. Adjacent laundry room adds further convenience. To the left, a flexible den awaits your vision: home office, reading room, — add French doors and it transforms entirely. Beyond the half bath, the home opens into its heart: a sought-after open-concept kitchen and living area made for gathering. The maple-appointed kitchen features 42-inch Mission-style cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous 7-foot center island that seats three, and a walk-in pantry. The living room anchors the space with a gas fireplace dressed in a maple mantle and marble surround, plus a slider to the deck — perfect for grilling season or simply watching wildlife move through the neighborhood at dusk. Upstairs, all three bedrooms share a single level. The primary suite overlooks the peaceful grassy hollow basin out back and features a well-appointed bath with white trim and cabinetry, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. The bonus room above the garage is a genuine surprise — an expansive, flexible space equally suited as a theater room, playroom, home gym, or oversized office. And below, the unfinished lower level with lookout windows is already framed and stubbed in for a full bath, ready to become a family room and fourth bedroom on your timeline. Recent updates include a newer roof, all new carpet upstairs, new Whirlpool washer and dryer, new bathroom faucets, and refinished hardwood floors. The oversized 2 car garage features a 12-foot ceiling for overhead storage shelving and an electric vehicle charging port. Connect directly to the Inspiration trail system, Barker's Alps Park, and sweeping St. Croix River views. Minutes to Downtown Stillwater, Oak Park Heights, Hwy 36, and I-94. Stillwater schools.
