Welcome to 210 Oak Ave E in New Salem, North Dakota — a home that truly stands apart. This thoughtfully designed earth-berm home blends architectural character with everyday practicality. Built using a University of Minnesota floor plan focused on energy-efficient living, it was ahead of its time. Natural insulation from the earth, passive solar warmth, and smart window placement create a bright, comfortable space with impressively low utility costs year-round. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the layout offers space to spread out while maintaining a natural flow. The main-level primary suite is a standout, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, and an attached bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. There are no stairs between the main level and the shop/garage, adding convenience and long-term accessibility. In 2018, the main level was refreshed with hard-surface flooring, fresh paint, and Andersen triple-pane windows that enhance both efficiency and natural light. Additional updates include select doors, lighting, electrical improvements, and basement windows. Storage is abundant throughout, including walk-in closets, a walk-in pantry, under-stair storage, and laundry hookups on both levels. The garage/shop space is impressive — over 1,200 square feet with high ceilings, electricity, natural light, and an overhead door. The enclosed, step-free walkway makes access easy and practical. Outside, mature trees, evergreens, a garden plot, patio space, and lush lawn create a peaceful setting. Located in a quiet part of New Salem, you'll enjoy small-town living with everyday essentials nearby and Mandan just a short drive away. If you're looking for something efficient, functional, and full of character, 210 Oak Ave E is a rare opportunity worth seeing.
