Nestled just a short stroll from Lake Nokomis, Diamond Lake, and the Minnehaha Parkway, this thoughtfully refreshed cottage blends timeless charm with modern updates. Over the past few years, nearly every space has been touched; highlighted by a stunning new kitchen enhanced with stainless steel appliances, including an induction cooktop and granite countertops, new Andersen windows, gleaming hardwood floors throughout, motorized blinds, and a beautifully landscaped yard perfect for relaxing or entertaining. You’ll love the bright and airy sunroom, an ideal space for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. The main level offers two bedrooms, while the expanded second-story owner’s suite features a private bath and cozy retreat. Downstairs, the freshly updated lower level is ready for movie nights, game days, or weekend gatherings. For the EV enthusiast, the Tesla charger is already installed and waiting for you. Set in one of Minneapolis’ most walkable and desirable neighborhoods, you’ll enjoy easy access to trails, lakes, parks, and local favorites, while still being just minutes from everything the city has to offer. This is one you will want to see!
