An adorable 1940s bungalow, just a half-mile east of Lake Nokomis, priced in the super-attainable low-$300k's? In THIS economy?? We could hardly believe it ourselves. This 1.5-story home, perched in the Wenonah neighborhood of South Minneapolis, begins with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a sprawling oversized 2-car garage with an expansive third-stall workshop. Inside the house, smart updates meet future equity potential: The furnace, water heater, and kitchen appliances are all new within the past three years. In the basement, an unfinished family room space could easily be finished to add 250 square feet, while the flex room could be transformed into a legal 4th bedroom by the next owner. In the backyard, 100+ square feet of decking with a brand-new, wraparound steel-post privacy fence means you're equipped for entertaining, gardening, and pets. And all this with immediate access to the beloved shops & trails surrounding Lake Nokomis. Looks like this economy isn't so bad after all.
