Exceptional Value, Ideal Location, Unlimited Opportunity. Presenting 5205 28th Avenue South in the high demand Lake Nokomis area of Minneapolis. Perfect starter home cleaned up and ready for a new owner. The Sellers have recently gone through the home from top to bottom and made several big improvements – Fresh interior paint throughout, new vinyl plank flooring on the main level and new carpeting on the upper level. The roof and central A/C are newer. There are still some cosmetic improvements to be made, but this one is move-in ready as is. Very handsome home with great curb appeal will welcome you with a delightful front porch. Classic floor plan with generous living room and large kitchen and dining area. Plenty of cabinet and countertop space. Two bedrooms on the main level and a third bedroom on the upper half story with room for a little office or reading nook. The basement is clean, dry, and partially finished with a ¾ bath. The walls, ceilings, recessed lighting, and egress windows are in already. Simply add some flooring to maximize the potential by creating a lower-level family room and up to two additional bedrooms – gaining quick equity has never been easier. Home has forced air heat and central A/C for all season comfort. A huge two+ car garage has room for cars, toys, workshop, and storage. There is also a concrete pad for boat or RV storage. Spectacular location with easy access to transportation (highways, bus, and LRT), dining, shopping, and coffee. Minutes to MSP International Airport and Downtown Minneapolis and walking distance to Lake Nokomis and multiple parks offering year-round recreation. Tier 1D rental license is in place for the investor. Come take a look and see that this is the opportunity you have been waiting for. Welcome Home!
