    What's special

    Two front doors and two complete three-bedroom units make this up/down duplex a rare find in the Lynnhurst neighborhood, just blocks from Lake Harriet on a south-facing corner lot that pulls light through the windows all day. Each unit offers three bedrooms, one bath, and a sunroom, with hardwood floors throughout. The lower unit holds its original character: warm oak trim, leaded glass cabinet doors, a built-in buffet with beveled mirror, and bookcases flanking the living room window. The upper unit feels lighter, with painted millwork, white built-in shelving, and oversized windows facing the treetops. Both kitchens keep their vintage cabinetry, and both units run living and dining together for easy flow. Ductless mini-split cooling and radiator heat serve both levels. The lower level holds separate laundry, generous storage, and plumbing already in place to add a finished bath and bonus space. Outside, a fully fenced cedar backyard and a large two-car garage round out the lot. Live in one unit and rent the other, or hold both as well-located income near the lakes, Minnehaha Creek, and the 46th Street shops. Period character and a setting this close to Lake Harriet are not easily reproduced. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity!
