Tucked into a wonderfully quiet, idyllic neighborhood, it's the kind of place that makes you nostalgic for the good ol' days. She needs some love, but she’s held onto the coolest parts of 1965...and there’s plenty here for a vintage-loving heart to get excited about. Pull on your trusty old flannel and roll up your sleeves... she’s ready for her next chapter. A sunny living room welcomes you with a big picture window, while an open-slat wood room divider with staggered display shelves serves up unmistakable mid-century flair.

The adjoining dining area is a cozy spot for morning coffee or a bowl of something warm on a chilly Minnesnowta evening. Three main-level bedrooms feature original hardwood floors, while a classic laundry chute adds a little old-school convenience. Downstairs, settle in for movie night (buttered popcorn required), squeeze in a workout (sneakers encouraged), or challenge your crew to game night.

When fall comes calling, this backyard doesn't just change colors. It puts on a full-blown fashion show, and every tree is dressed to impress. A super handy attached garage rounds out this sweet little ranch. Schools are just a hop, skip, and a jump away, while historic Faribault dishes up charming downtown shops, local eateries, beautiful parks, and trails just begging to be explored.
