About this home

Want a home with room for everyone, space for everything, and a backyard that opens straight into Lions Park? This is it! A park you never have to mow, and no streets to cross to get there. Just open green space, a playground, and a basketball court out the back door. The lot is generous, the mature trees are the kind you can’t plant your way into, and the formal dining room looks right out over all of it. Inside, the main level centers on a brick wood-burning fireplace in the living room, with an eat-in kitchen and plenty of cabinet space just off it, plus a formal dining room for holidays and entertaining. Upstairs, four bedrooms sit together on one level, including a primary suite with its own private 3/4 bath. The walkout lower level adds a fifth bedroom, the home’s largest family room, a mudroom, and a dedicated laundry room. Storage? Over 700 unfinished square feet of it. The attached garage runs 27’ x 26’, and the detached garage/workshop brings you to four stalls total. Hector’s city pool, restaurants, and shops are minutes away, with Hutchinson and Willmar an easy drive. Small-town living with everyday needs covered. Inspection and FHA appraisal was previously completed. Move-in ready and set up for a quick close.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
