Built in 1859 and thoughtfully renovated just over a decade ago, this one-of-a-kind stone home blends rich history with modern comfort. Once home to the Forget Me Not Brewery, original beer vaults still remain, adding charm and character to this unique property. Tucked along the Root River with direct access to the river, scenic bike trail, park, and 9-hole trout fishing course, the setting is as memorable as the home itself. Enjoy the calming sound of the river from the covered front porch or the private bedroom balcony, surrounded by mature trees and vibrant gardens. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath layout includes two kitchens and spacious great rooms, perfect for multigenerational living, full-time residence, or use as a vacation rental. Most of the main level features in-floor heating, while vaulted ceilings and wide-plank hardwood floors create an inviting, open feel. The upper level kitchen offers rich cabinetry and a large walk-in pantry, and a heated lower-level workshop adds even more versatility with a half bath and dedicated utility area. Additional features include a heated 4-car garage with carport and an upper-level bonus space ideal for an office, studio, or home gym. With its blend of history, flexibility, and a scenic setting, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Minnesota heritage.
