The walkout lower level offers outstanding flexibility with a large family room that also functions beautifully as a home office or exercise space with direct driveway access—perfect for today’s work-from-home lifestyle.
Professionally landscaped perennial gardens surround the home, with additional space previously used for a large vegetable garden and ready for future use. There is a grass driveway going into the lower portion of the 5 acres for storing boat trailers or campers. It may be suitable for an outbuilding as well.
Located on sought-after Afton Hills Drive just above the village of Afton, this property offers quick access to the St. Croix River, local shops and restaurants, nearby trails at Afton State Park, and skiing at Afton Alps—bringing together architectural character, privacy, and year-round recreation in one exceptional setting.
