INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD INSTANT EQUITY! EASY POTENTIAL TO CONVERT THIS HOME INTO A 4-BEDROOM PROPERTY WITH MINIMAL ADDITIONAL EXPENSE! Welcome to 521 Warner Avenue in the charming community of Willernie located in the highly desirable Mahtomedi School District! This home offers an exceptional combination of affordability, valuable updates, expansion potential, and a fantastic location. Whether you're looking for your next home or an opportunity to increase property value through simple improvements, this property is loaded with possibilities! ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHTS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EASILY EXPAND THIS HOME FROM 2 BEDROOMS TO 4 BEDROOMS! The lower level already features two framed bedroom areas with existing egress windows, eliminating two of the major expenses typically associated with adding basement bedrooms. Much of the preliminary work has already been completed! With the addition of sheetrock, flooring, and finishing touches, these spaces offer the potential to become two additional bedrooms, subject to applicable building requirements. Imagine the benefits of adding two bedrooms without the expense and disruption of a major remodeling project! This is an outstanding opportunity to increase usable living space, accommodate changing household needs, create a home office or guest rooms, and potentially increase the home's resale value while building equity. NUMEROUS RECENT IMPROVEMENTS MAKE THIS HOME EVEN MORE ATTRACTIVE! Enjoy fresh interior paint and brand-new carpeting throughout the living room, bedrooms, and stairways, creating a clean, comfortable, move-in-ready atmosphere. Major mechanical updates include a NEW FURNACE and NEW WATER HEATER, offering added peace of mind. The roof was replaced in 2022, providing another significant improvement that buyers will appreciate. Additional features include a welcoming tiled foyer, circuit breaker electrical panel, and a spacious deck that's perfect for outdoor relaxation, grilling, or entertaining. The OVERSIZED 2-CAR GARAGE provides exceptional space for vehicles, storage, tools, recreational equipment, or a workshop areas, an especially valuable feature during Minnesota winters! Location is another outstanding advantage! Enjoy the welcoming small-town atmosphere of Willernie while being just minutes from downtown Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake, beautiful area lakes, parks, walking and biking trails, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Convenient access to major commuting routes makes traveling throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area easy while allowing you to return home to a quieter, established residential neighborhood. WHY PAY MORE FOR A HOME THAT ALREADY HAS FOUR FINISHED BEDROOMS WHEN YOU MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR OWN AND BUILD EQUITY ALONG THE WAY? With major mechanical improvements already completed, fresh interior updates, an oversized garage, and two lower-level bedroom areas already framed with egress windows, this property presents a rare opportunity to add value without undertaking an extensive renovation. MOVE IN, ENJOY THE UPDATES, AND FINISH THE TWO ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS WHEN YOU'RE READY! Listing photos include both original photography and virtually staged images.
