House Hunting Headache? This Lakeville MN Home Solves It
About this video
Join Jason from Living in Minneapolis, Minnesota for an exclusive tour of a brand-new Pinnacle Family Homes build in Lakeville, MN. This 4-bed, 3-bath, 2,700 sq ft home blends modern farmhouse design with smart upgrades you won’t find in most Twin Cities new construction.
Key takeaways
- A tour of a Pinnacle Family Homes model in the Pheasant Run neighborhood of Lakeville: four bedrooms, three baths, a three-car garage and about 2,700 square feet, priced in the upper $600,000s at the time.
- Distinctive touches: a farmhouse exterior, 8-foot garage doors, 8-foot interior doors on the main floor, quartersawn oak cabinets, a brick fireplace with shiplap, ceiling beams and Andersen windows.
- The kitchen has an island seating five, a microwave built into the island and a large window over the sink facing a pond and an outlot that won't be built on.
- Upstairs are three bedrooms with walk-in closets, a wide hallway, a large laundry room and an owner's suite with a soaking tub. The walkout basement is unfinished; Jason estimates $45,000 to $65,000 to finish it, ideally by the builder so it's covered by warranty.
- Builders' on-site reps represent the builder, so buyers benefit from having their own agent on new construction.
Questions this video answers
Do I need my own agent to buy new construction?
It helps. The builder's on-site sales reps represent the builder, so your own agent can advocate for you on price, upgrades and terms.
Should I have the builder finish my basement?
Often it's the most cost-effective option in new construction, Jason says, because the work is covered by the builder's warranty and the finishes match the rest of the house.
