Spectacular Minnehaha Parkway Setting | Double Lot | Updated Throughout
Nestled on a rare double lot in the heart of Lynnhurst, this thoughtfully updated home offers a truly exceptional lifestyle on one of Minneapolis’ most sought-after parkway locations. Overlooking Minnehaha Parkway and just steps from the creek and Lake Harriet, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home features an open-concept main level with panoramic windows framing serene park views.
The beautifully remodeled kitchen anchors the main floor, with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a large island, and hardwood flooring throughout. Entertain with ease in the sun-filled living and dining spaces, or relax fireside with views of the lush greenway just beyond your front yard.
Upstairs, you'll find generously sized bedrooms and an owner’s suite with bay window, walk-in closet, and private bath. The walkout lower level includes a large family room with a second fireplace, wet bar, and massive storage space—perfect for game nights, guests, or a home gym.
Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard oasis featuring a newer Trex deck and custom paver patio—ideal for grilling, lounging, or watching the kids play. The oversized two-car garage easily accommodates full-size vehicles, bikes, tools, and more.
Situated within walking distance to Burroughs Elementary, Lynnhurst Park, the Rec Center, and the South Beach at Lake Harriet, this location offers unmatched access to nature and amenities. Walk or bike the Parkway trails, visit nearby shops and restaurants at 50th & Bryant or 54th & Penn, or take in a summer concert at the Lake Harriet Bandshell.
Key Updates:
• Open-concept kitchen renovation (2017)
• Hardwood floors & ceilings updated
• New roof (approx. 2019)
• New Trex deck, fenced yard, and paver patio
• Built-in custom storage in mudroom and bonus workspace

This home has been lovingly maintained and cherished—and it shows. Homes on this stretch of the Parkway rarely come to market. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours.
