Welcome to 1557 Lafond, right across from Hamline Park in the Midway neighborhood! This classic 1912 four-square features plenty of original charm in its rich woodwork, dining room built-in and hardwood floors, with modern updates such as the 3/4 bath on the main level and updated kitchen. Upstairs, the floors have been freshly refinished in the three bedrooms and they are gorgeous! There is a ductless mini-split in the front sunroom that is excellent for cooling the main level. The sunroom was previously used as an office by the seller but it would be a great flex space for so many uses! The yard is a blank slate and ready for your vision; it’s already about 3/4 fenced for your pups! The neighborhood features plenty of great shops and restaurants, notably Ginkgo Coffee and Pho Pasteur! Easy access to the highway and public transit, including the light rail and Allianz Field just 0.3 miles away.
