Don't let the square footage fool you—over $130K in major improvements make this modernized 1950s gem one of the best-maintained, most move-in ready homes in the neighborhood. Situated in a leafy, mature-growth neighborhood between Minneapolis and St. Paul, this property is just a short walk from scenic River Road. This is the one you buy and enjoy, not the one you buy and fix!
The exterior boasts a $35K transformation with durable Hardie-board siding and new full-frame Marvin Essential Series windows. A brand-new $40K garage features a 9-foot door and an attached carport. For outdoor enjoyment, the $20K professionally hardscaped yard includes extensive native plantings alongside a custom-designed paver patio and sidewalks.
Inside, a $15K update brings crisp white modern trim. The kitchen features new appliances, Pergo flooring, butcher block counters, a freestanding island that stays, and a tasteful floor-to-ceiling tile accent wall. The refreshed bathroom offers new wainscoting and a new vanity.
Warm hardwood floors, and a cozy woodburning fireplace to anchor the bright living room.
A $20K mechanical and appliance upgrade provides total peace of mind. Systems include a dual 200-amp electrical service (for both house and garage), a 2-stage furnace with a heat pump and central AC, spray-foam rim joist insulation, a new water heater, and a brand-new washer and dryer set. Downstairs, the clean, unfinished basement is a blank canvas, allowing you to finish the space your way without unwinding anyone else's work. A tour is highly recommended. Truly turnkey!
