About The Listing

***Offer received. All OFFERS DUE by Saturday, May 9 at 5:00 pm.

Located on an inviting street in south Minneapolis, this adorable home shines with both classic charm and modern touches. As you enter, the original, newly-refinished (2026) hardwood floors create a warm environment made for gatherings. Notice the updated windows letting in oodles of natural light.

The dining area leads to a sliding door onto the lovely deck and lower paver patio — the perfect spot for dinners indoors or out, for entertaining friends and family, or enjoying your morning coffee bathed in sunlight. Kitchen highlights include attractive, modern cabinetry and slate tile flooring. Write your recipes directly on the high-end refrigerator (2025), as the shiny white doors serve as a reusable white board. In addition to two bedrooms on the main floor, you’ll find an updated, stylish bathroom (2023).

Venture upstairs to find a third bedroom with a generous walk-in closet, modern cork plank flooring, and updated lighting. New attic insulation (2025) will help keep you cozy warm in winter and comfortably cool in the summer.

Descend the basement steps to find a spacious family room with fresh carpet (2026) for movie or board game nights with friends. The flat screen TV and mount come with the home! The egress window also means this could one day be a fourth bedroom. Note the convenient, adjoining three-quarter bath. The large utility room includes plenty of storage.

The surrounding yard provides a myriad of edible treats in the organically-grown and lovingly-maintained landscaping. Well-established native and flowering perennials in the front attract a variety of pollinators and colorful butterflies. Amidst the front, sides, and back, you’ll discover two plum and two cherry trees; and serviceberry, dwarf cherry, golden and red raspberry, and blueberry bushes! All produce lots of fruit for eating and preserving.

Note the modern, two-car garage. It features a large 18’ by 12’ adjoining, insulated shop for the woodworker in you, or add a doggy door and use as an indoor/outdoor fenced dog kennel area.

Morris Park is just across the street with lots of green space, and the neighborhood is perfect for a summer stroll. You’ll be a short drive to Highways 55 and 62, to quickly get anywhere in the Twin Cities for a speedy commute. Oxendale’s Market and Nokomis Hardware are a mile or less away, along with other nearby spots for dinner or treats — Crema Coffee + Creme (soft serve!), Dominguez Family Restaurant, and Bull's Horn Food and Drink.

Don’t miss your chance to live in the rich warmth of this special home on a cute south Minneapolis street!
