There's a little bit of everything at 241 9th Avenue NW, from its 0.22-acre lot and fully fenced backyard, to its practical midcentury layout, to its completely unexpected cabin-in-the-city basement. You start with a move-in-ready home: on the main level, original hardwood floors run through the living room, hallway, dining room, and both bedrooms, while the kitchen received a full suite of brand-new Whirlpool appliances in early 2026. The main-level full bathroom features a jetted tub, and the pass-through formal dining room opens via sliding glass door to a new composite deck overlooking an expansive backyard, ready for pets and play, with a vinyl storage shed for tools and lawn equipment. But the lower level is the true standout of this home: rich knotty pine paneling on the walls and ceilings gives the family room the feel of an Up North cabin retreat right in the heart of the suburbs. Finished with a gas fireplace, you might just mistake New Brighton for Grand Marais (but with a much shorter commute). And even though the home is move-in ready, it gives you two easy opportunities to build equity: the non-conforming third bedroom simply needs an egress window to become fully legal, and an existing egress window in the adjacent storage room means a fourth legal bedroom is just a framing job away. Outside, the detached 2-car tandem pull-through garage measures a remarkable 31 feet deep, flexible enough for two vehicles parked in tandem or one plus serious storage. Half a mile from the newly upgraded Hansen Park and served by the Mounds View school district (ISD #621), 241 9th Avenue NW feels like a couple different homes wrapped into a single midcentury rambler.
