Homes At Waters Edge

NORTHFIELD NEIGHBORHOODS: WATERS EDGE CIRCLE

Not far from the Northfield Golf Club are nine townhomes off Woodley St E.  They form their own circle around a lovely tree lined island displaying carefully landscaped yards.  Each unit is a single level allowing easy access to the natural world of the ponds they overlook.    

Surrounding the homes on three sides, the seasonal ponds form a small peninsula for the Waters Edge Community.  They overlook the water where various breeds of geese and ducks feel a Minnesota welcome for a stopover on their way to milder climates.  The window walls throughout the units invite the owners to enjoy a slower pace of life to watch the wildlife that come their way.  Mink, otter, and beaver have also been spotted in the ponds nearby. 

Unit features include: two bathrooms, two, three, or four bedrooms, a family room with a gas fireplace in some units, and a washer and dryer hookup.  Known for featuring very similar floor plans, there is some uniqueness in the open feel of the kitchen and dining spaces. It is common for the front bedroom to double as a home office or study, while the hallway bedroom often accommodates guests or is transformed into a den. The garage is attached with two spaces and room for storage.  The HOA maintains the structure, handles lawn care, and removes the snow in the winter months.

Built in the mid- to late-1990s, the Homes at Waters Edge have all that you need for a relaxing life on one level. The backyard patio stretches across all of the rooms facing the pond, including the primary bedroom which also has its own set of two sliding glass doors. Cozy up around the fireplace in the family room sipping a hot drink while keeping tabs on the latest breed of ducks or birds to join your list.  This is your place for outdoor adventure. 

Take a walk on the Par Meadow Park trails or check out what Heywood Park has to offer. Northfield’s walking and biking trails aren’t far away either and the townhomes are a short drive to the festivals, markets, and special events you will find throughout the year at Carleton College, St. Olaf College, and downtown Northfield. Bridge Square is a mere 1.7 miles away. Enjoy the feel of walking a country road along Woodley Street and Jefferson Parkway.

You'll find so much history to explore, great food to sample, and friendly people to meet in Northfield and its neighboring communities.
