About The Listing

Welcome to a home that blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in one of the west metro’s most desirable locations. This classic rambler offers the ease of main level living with hardwood floors throughout and a layout designed for both comfort and connection.

Step inside to a warm, inviting living space anchored by a fireplace and filled with natural light. The kitchen flows seamlessly to a spacious rear patio, perfectly positioned between the home and garage, creating an ideal setup for entertaining, grilling, and gathering. Just inside, a built-in wet bar adds charm and function for hosting.

Enjoy quiet mornings on the welcoming front stoop with room for rocking chairs, or take in peaceful backyard views from the kitchen sink, where mature landscaping and frequent wildlife create a serene, private setting.

The main level features three bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level expands your living space with a fourth bedroom, second fireplace, and a bright south facing picture window that fills the space with natural light. A walk in cedar closet, laundry chute, and generous storage add to the home’s everyday practicality.

The oversized garage offers exceptional flexibility for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or a workshop.

This home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully improved, including updated windows, mechanicals, roof, and landscaping, providing comfort and peace of mind.

Located just a short walk to downtown Hopkins, parks, trails, and Shady Oak Beach, with convenient access to the upcoming Green Line Extension.

A rare opportunity to own a home that offers character, space, and location, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
