Some houses just work. 1208 Borealis Lane is one of them. Built in 1981 and sitting on a generous fenced lot lined with mature trees, this four-bedroom, four-bath two-story gives buyers what they're actually looking for: real space, a practical layout, and a backyard worth spending time in ? all at a reasonable price. All four bedrooms are on the second floor, which matters for convenience and safety. The primary bedroom has its own ensuite bath ? not a spa retreat, but a real private bathroom that means the hallway bath stays for everyone else. The upstairs feels organized and functional, not choppy. The main floor gives you two distinct living zones. Up front, a generous living room and dining area that buyers can use however they want ? sitting room, home office, piano room, playroom, or just a quieter space away from the action. In the back, the house opens up into a family room with a brick fireplace, a breakfast nook, and slider access to a large deck overlooking the backyard. That rear zone ? fireplace, kitchen connection, deck, trees, fenced yard ? is the emotional center of this house. It's the part buyers picture themselves in on a Tuesday night in October. The kitchen connects directly to both the breakfast nook and the formal dining area, giving it flexibility. The fenced backyard is large, flat, and genuinely usable. Mature trees provide shade and privacy. The deck is spacious. There's a storage shed. The lower level adds value in two ways: a finished billiard room gives you an immediate recreation space ? game nights, a hangout zone, a place for kids to have their own area ? and beyond that, the unfinished utility and storage space is substantial, offering room for a workshop, gym, hobby space, or future finishing potential. The attached garage runs approximately 24x22, which means real room for two cars plus tools, bikes, and all the gear that comes with a Minnesota winter. And for families with school-age children, Highland Elementary and Columbia Heights Senior High are all essentially across the street ? a practical everyday convenience that's hard to replicate. Four bedrooms. Four baths. Four upstairs bedrooms on one level. Main floor family room with fireplace. Large fenced yard with mature trees and deck. Finished rec room. Oversized garage. Schools across the street. Your next home.
