Centrally located in the quiet, established Como Park neighborhood, this all-brick home has old world charm and many of its original features, including a one-of-a-kind plaster ship above the wood-burning fireplace. Glass knobs on the doors, arched doorways, hardwood floors, and ceiling coving help to distinguish this home. The colors flow through the house, with sunlight filling the rooms. A recent kitchen renovation includes granite counter tops, high-end appliances, a small breakfast nook area, and even special cabinets for charging electronics. There’s also a mud-room area adjacent that steps out to the back deck. Living room, dining room, two main level bedrooms and a full bath complete the first floor. The upper level has the potential for a child’s bedroom and play space, or even a master suite – however you might be inspired. The lower level is presently set up with a bedroom, office and half bath. Or it could be a suite for a mother-in-law, college student, or even a family room/den and office. A unique kitchenette on the lower level could also be a perfect hobby room or exercise room – lots of options. There’s plenty of storage too. The front yard gardens are tastefully landscaped to set off this brick beauty, and there’s even a small round patio, just right for an early morning coffee in the sunshine. The backyard is suited for relaxation and enjoyment. A wooden privacy fence encloses this oversize lot. A 14x16’ composite deck is right off the back door and looks out over brick walkways and garden beds filled with perennials and flowers. A yard is available for children or dogs. No need to worry about traffic during the State Fair – there’s a two-car garage, and an adjoining cement pad – all accessible via the paved alley. Walk to the fair and come home to enjoy the nightly fireworks from your backyard deck! Conveniently located between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul, and near many of the universities. A short walk to Como Park, zoo, and golf course, and even the new local coffee shop only a few blocks away. 4th bedroom is Non-conforming with a egress window and with alternate heat
