House Description

Nestled on nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens and private grounds in the wooded foothills of St. Olaf College, this one-of-a-kind cottage offers over 3 bedrooms and 4 baths, blending timeless charm with understated elegance. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the warmth and character that fill every room. Step into the sunlit living room featuring gorgeous wood floors and one of two wood-burning fireplaces. Charming sliding barn doors lead to the spacious owner's suite, complete with a private three-quarter en-suite bath. The inviting dining room showcases built-in display cabinets and French doors that open to a fabulous screened porch—perfect for enjoying Minnesota's beautiful summer and fall seasons. From the porch, step outside to a spacious paver patio surrounded by lush gardens and peaceful natural views. The upper level features two unique bedrooms and two full baths. One bedroom offers wood floors, a second wood-burning fireplace, and an in-room clawfoot tub with shower, creating a truly memorable retreat. The second bedroom features a private Juliet Balcony, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the sights and fragrances of the surrounding gardens. The walkout lower level provides flexible space that could serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, guest suite, or hobby room. Until recently, this stunning property operated as a successful bed-and-breakfast known as "The Contented Cottage"—a name that perfectly reflects the comfort, character, and charm found throughout the home. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years, recent improvements include a new roof and gutters in 2026. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a peaceful country setting and the convenience of City of Northfield utilities, all within an excellent commuter location. And if you've ever dreamed of keeping a few chickens, the coop is already in place and waiting for its next owners.
