Charming. Updated. Unbeatable Location. Just blocks from Lake Bde Maka Ska, this beautifully refreshed five-bedroom, four-bath home offers the perfect blend of classic character and modern ease. From the inviting front porch to the timeless built-ins, every corner of this home honors its historic soul while embracing today’s comforts.
Sunlight dances across gleaming hardwood floors on the open main level, where a spacious living room, sun-filled dining area, cozy library with gas fireplace, and a stately den create spaces for both lively gatherings and quiet retreats. The large eat-in kitchen, complete with a brand-new refrigerator and stove, flows seamlessly onto a covered deck—designed for easy, everyday entertaining. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is a private haven, featuring a walk-in closet, ensuite bath, serene sunroom, and a secluded balcony perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and convenient upper-level laundry round out the second floor. The third level adds flexibility with two more bedrooms—ideal for guests, a home office, or creative space.
The finished lower level offers a generous family room and half bath, while outside, a fully fenced backyard awaits. All tucked into a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood—steps to shopping, dining, Lake Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, biking trails, swimming, the Bandshell, and the peaceful Rose Gardens.
This is city living at its most charming—don’t miss it!
