About This Home
7556 Laverne Avenue S sits on one of Jason's favorite streets in Cottage Grove, a quiet block with a corn field at one end and a playground and ice rink at the other, shaded by mature trees that give the whole area an almost storybook feel. By the time of this second sale, nearly everything in the home had been updated: a gas fireplace with built-in bookcases, an updated kitchen, and an ensuite primary bedroom.
The home features an open floor plan with three bedrooms on one level, plus a fourth in the lower level, and an insulated garage with a drop-down ladder for additional attic storage. A spacious patio and backyard bonfire pit rounded out the outdoor space.

A Home Jason Has Sold Twice
This is the only property in Jason's Cottage Grove transaction history that he has represented for the seller on two separate occasions. He first sold this home in September 2019 for $301,000, and again just seven months later in April 2020 for $320,000 after the new owner needed to relocate for a job transfer. Selling the same home twice for two different families is a rare occurrence in any market, and it gave Jason an unusually complete view of this specific property and street over time.
