    This exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to own a proven (161 reviews) 4.89-star rated Airbnb/VRBO that has operated successfully for several years and remains active as a short-term rental. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, the home features a new roof (2025), central air conditioning, and a professionally relined main sewer line using a trenchless system for long-term peace of mind. The upper level has been completely remodeled, including a stunning kitchen and bathroom with granite countertops, while the finished lower level adds valuable living space with an additional bedroom, family room, and a full bathroom with laundry. Flooring throughout includes a blend of hardwood, laminate, and carpet, offering both style and comfort. The dishwasher has been replaced within the last three years. Outdoor amenities are just as impressive, with a 6-foot privacy fence, a dedicated hot tub pad with hot tub, and an oversized, insulated, and heated two-car garage equipped with a large workbench and ample power—ideal for a workshop or hobby space. Roof-mounted solar panels help offset energy costs by feeding electricity back into the grid. Located in the highly sought-after Howe neighborhood, this home provides easy access to some of Minneapolis’ best outdoor amenities. Nearby Longfellow Park offers walking paths, playgrounds, tennis courts, and open green space, while the Mississippi Gorge Regional Park features scenic riverfront biking and walking trails. Minnehaha Falls Regional Park, with its iconic 53-foot waterfall and connections to the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway, is just a short drive or bike ride away. An extensive trail network and vibrant surroundings complete this standout property.
