About This Home
Built by the Kahler Family, this one-of-a-kind Oronoco, MN home offers nearly 1 acre just outside Rochester, MN, with peaceful park setting and Zumbro River views—privacy, space, and location all in one. With 3,000+ sq ft, this updated 2-story features 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and main-floor laundry, thoughtfully improved through four phases of renovations. The expanded kitchen showcases double ovens, stainless appliances, and custom built-ins, opening to inviting living spaces with a stone fireplace. Three sunrooms flood the home with natural light, while timeless details—like a classic clawfoot tub—add charm you simply don’t find in newer builds. The walkout lower level offers a family room, workshop, storage, and plumbed bath ready to finish. Step outside to a river-view patio, mature trees, and a circular drive with a 2-car garage. Major updates: 50-year roof, furnace (2021), water heater (2023). Bonus: Optional adjacent .63-acre lot—protect your views, expand, or invest.
