About this home

Every day feels like a getaway in this retreat-style home nestled on 1.6 beautifully landscaped acres in the Westcliffe development. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertainment, this exceptional two-story home offers spacious living paired with an incredible private backyard oasis, featuring a heated 40' x 20' in-ground saltwater pool complete with a diving board and walk-in entry stairs, an expansive concrete patio, and a new black rail non-scalable fence that adds both style and security. The walkout lower level opens directly to the pool, creating the perfect setting for summer gatherings, family fun, and peaceful evenings at home. The Westcliffe Association enhances the lifestyle with private access to Buffalo Lake, including a boat launch, dock access, and common spaces to explore and enjoy Minnesota's beautiful seasons. Begin your day on the inviting covered front porch overlooking the meticulously manicured grounds, before stepping inside this welcoming home, where you’re greeted by a soaring 10-foot ceiling and walls of Andersen windows filling the living room with natural light and showcasing stunning views of the backyard. A gas fireplace anchors this spacious room, making it the perfect setting for family gatherings, while the rest of the main level is completed by a large private den with French doors, a formal dining room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, upgraded KitchenAid appliances, a reverse osmosis water system, a center island, and views of the backyard from nearly every angle. A large composite deck extends your living space outdoors with easy access from the dining area, helping to complete the ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. Back inside, the upper level of this home is accessed by a striking four-foot-wide staircase, leading to three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a jetted tub, walk-in shower, dual walk-in closets, and access to a versatile bonus room above the garage—perfect for a craft room, home gym, tucked-away office, or additional storage. All of the bedrooms in this home offer sizeable walk-in closets for added convenience. The walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility with direct access to the backyard and pool. Currently designed as an entertainment space, the main area of this level can easily transition into a comfortable family room. A spacious fourth bedroom, dedicated office, and full bath provide excellent accommodations for guests or simply your hobbies. Additional highlights of this home include a main-floor laundry room with a convenient second-floor laundry chute, energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling, and a whole-home backup generator that automatically restores power if needed for year-round comfort and peace of mind. The main floor, upper level, and lower level office are presented with new carpet in a neutral tone to appeal to all decors. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the oversized 38' x 26' insulated, finished, and heated three-stall garage featuring epoxy floors, a floor drain, beam for a car hoist, and service doors providing convenient access to both the front and back yard. An additional parking pad offers the perfect place for a boat, camper, trailer, or recreational toys. From poolside afternoons and lake adventures to cozy evenings by the fire, this exceptional Westcliffe property offers the perfect balance of everyday comfort and resort-inspired living—making every season feel like a staycation.

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.
