There's a lot to love about a big backyard, especially when the surrounding parks and trails make it feel even bigger. At 616 Rice Creek Terrace NE in Fridley, a fully fenced quarter-acre lot offers tree-shaded space, an 18-foot back deck, a playset and a storage shed, all just south of Rice Creek and its regional trail. This 1963 one-story home has a remarkably practical layout across 1,902 finished square feet: three bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main level, plus an attached two-car garage. The kitchen and dining room connect directly to the deck, and original hardwood floors bring character to the main-level living space. The finished lower level adds a fourth legal bedroom, a second bathroom with shower, a comfortable family room, and flexible space for work, hobbies or exercise, with new carpet installed in 2025. Major updates provide wonderful peace of mind: a high-efficiency boiler (2021), five replacement windows (2022), mini-split A/C, tankless water heater, water softener and filtration system (all 2023), a newer garage door (2024), and garbage disposal (2024). Locke County Park and its dog park, summer concerts at the Fridley Civic Campus, the library, and the splash pad at Fridley Commons Park are all close by, and NE Minneapolis is a short drive down the river.
