Charming and Spacious South Minneapolis Home –
Welcome to this lovely 1.5-story home in the vibrant and quaint Diamond Lake Neighborhood of South Minneapolis — a perfect blend of historic character, thoughtful updates, and functional space.
From the curb, you’re greeted by timeless details including a curved sidewalk, flagstone stoop, and arched front entry that set the tone for the warmth and charm found throughout the home. Inside, you'll find refinished hardwood floors, a classic brick wood-burning fireplace, cove ceilings, arched doorways, and built-in features that showcase the home’s architectural character.
Thoughtful updates include a new roof, furnace, hot water heater, and newer windows, along with upgraded insulation and central air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Ideally located just blocks from Minnehaha Creek and Parkway, Todd Park and Pearl Park, you’ll enjoy access to playgrounds, ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, a wading pool, and even an indoor gymnasium. With grocery stores, restaurants, and freeway access nearby, this location offers the perfect combination of neighborhood charm and urban convenience.
The main level features a rare family room addition, perfect for entertaining or everyday living, leading to a wraparound deck and a private backyard. The galley-style kitchen is both stylish and functional, with maple cabinetry, white stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Open archways create a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, living room, and family room.
Also on the main floor are two bedrooms with hardwood floors and a vintage full tiled bathroom.
Upstairs, the private owner’s suite spans the entire level and includes a luxurious en-suite bathroom, offering a quiet retreat with generous space and privacy.
The lower level expands your living area with a large amusement room and a guest bedroom with an egress window — ideal for visitors, a home office, or both.
A spacious 2+ stall garage and concrete driveway provide ample off-street parking.
This is a home where historic charm meets modern comfort in one of South Minneapolis’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
