It's easy to fall in love with 22048 Elston Avenue! This 4-bedroom, 3-bath walkout rambler in Forest Lake’s Evergreen Ridge neighborhood gives you everyday convenience on one level and plenty of room to spread out below. A covered front porch and an inviting entry lead into an open main floor-plan with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, natural woodwork, solid-core paneled doors, and large windows looking out over the backyard. If you've been looking for quality features and a smart layout that works for nearly anyone- this is the home for you.

The kitchen sits at the heart of it all. The center island with a breakfast bar, granite countertops, gas range, a walk-in pantry, and generous counter and cabinet space, so the cook never misses the conversation. From the dining area, step out to the 22'x12' deck for summer grilling. Stairs lead down to a 38'x16' patio below with the most beautiful private backyard and tree-lined views.

Everything you need is on the main level. The private primary suite has a walk-in closet with custom organizers and its own bath with a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, double sinks and fantastic storage with linen cabinetry. A second bedroom, a full bath and the laundry room and mudroom are also on this level too.

The walkout lower level is built for gatherings. Its expansive family room has a stone gas fireplace and a wet bar. Down here you’ll also find two more bedrooms, including one with French doors that works well as a home office, plus a 3/4 bath and plenty of space for storage.

Other highlights:

- Multi-generational living potential with wet bar, bedrooms, bathroom, and walkout accessibility in lower level

- Insulated 3-car garage with an extra-deep third stall, already piped for a future heater, perfect workshop space for it's future owner

- Reverse osmosis water system

- In-ground sprinkler system and a newer 14'x12' Tuff storage shed
