Property Description
Room to Breathe. Space to Live. A Place That Feels Like Home the Moment You Arrive. Some houses check boxes. This one opens doors â literally and figuratively. Ceylon, MN is the kind of town that earns its reputation. Every year, people come from throughout the state and surrounding area for the Community Day Auction â multiple auction rings running all day, rummage sales lining the streets, the whole town alive with energy. This year marked the 91st annual event. That's not a small thing. That's a community that shows up for itself â and has for nearly a century. This is the kind of place you put down roots - and this property is ready for roots. Tucked on a generous corner lot at the edge of town, this substantial 2-story home greets you with mature cherry and apple trees, established grapevines, and the kind of quiet that only comes with a small-town address that still has something going on. There's an outdoor kennel, a partially fenced yard, and space enough to exhale. Step inside and the first thing you notice is the room. A generous main-level living room flows through French doors into the dining room â a layout built for Sunday dinners, holiday gatherings, and everything in between. The kitchen is ready to work, with newer appliances and a workspace that won't leave you crowded. A dedicated office makes working from home actually workable. A ceramic-tiled laundry room and five bathrooms mean the daily logistics of a busy household just work. Flexibility is woven into every floor. The main level offers two additional rooms ideal for guests, a playroom, or a studio â whatever your life calls for right now. Upstairs, three bedrooms with hardwood floors carry that timeless warmth you can't manufacture, plus an additional flexible room for hobbies or overflow. In the basement, a large walk-in tile shower anchors the space, which also features a built-in storm shelter because peace of mind matters out here, too. The oversized 2-car garage with pull-down attic storage means there's a place for everything â tools, gear, seasonal items, and all the good overflow that a full life accumulates. This is a home that grows with you. In a town that's been growing for 91 years. Come see it. Some things you just have to experience in person.
