Excellent opportunity to buy a charming 2-bedroom bungalow in the heart of the Nokomis East neighborhood with convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and coffee shops, as well as the Minnehaha Dog Park, neighborhood parks, Lake Nokomis, and everything this area has to offer. This home has great curb appeal with all the charm you expect from a 1920's bungalow. The interior of the home offers tons of potential, including beautiful woodwork and an open floor plan between the dining room and kitchen. The basement has a large family room space and generous additional storage space. The house's exterior is low maintenance with a stucco exterior with metal wrapped window trim, as well as the newer windows throughout much of the house. Enjoy relaxing on the back patio in the fenced backyard, and the home also has an oversized 2-car garage. This home is just a few blocks to the ultra convenient Nokomis East “downtown” corridor along 34th Ave, while still being close to nature, including Lake Nokomis and Hiawatha, Minnehaha Falls and the Creek, the Mississippi River, and access to the Grand Rounds Trail System.
