    What's special

    Welcome to 973 California Avenue West, a delightful Three-Bedroom, Two-Bath gem, brimming with charm, character and updated beauty! The inviting living room is bathed in natural light from large front windows, and features easy-care laminate flooring and a ceramic tiled foyer with guest coat closet. The eye-catching in-wall electric fireplace flanked by white display cabinets is the focal point of the room. Sit here to catch up with family and friends over coffee and snacks on chilly fall evenings. The dining room is adjacent, and offers mood-setting overhead lighting and large windows. The sun-splashed kitchen boasts sleek white cabinetry with contrasting gray-green bases, expanses of sensible workspace, and a center island with counter seating and pendant lighting. The bay window with window seat adds a touch of style and whimsy, and overlooks the pleasant backyard. The flexible den has neutral carpet, sunny windows, a closet, and could function as a home office or nursery to accommodate the changing needs of your household. Two bedrooms, each with soft-on-your-feet carpet, generous closets, and bright windows, are grouped on the main level with a ceramic tiled full bath with vanity. Remodeled in 2024, the lower level is a true treasure, providing additional space for comfortable living. The family room is enhanced with neutral carpet, plus recessed and sconce lighting. This is the perfect place to gather for game night or movie night! Double doors lead to a “hidden” laundry, and there is plenty of storage space available. A third bedroom has a large egress window, a double closet, neutral carpet and recessed lights. There is a convenient bath nearby with a vanity and ceramic tiled shower stall. Set up your grill to enjoy summer barbecues on the large patio in the fenced backyard. Play lawn games like croquet or touch football, or try out your green thumb and plant a flower or vegetable garden! Your car and patio furniture will be protected from the elements in the garage. Great location, close to shopping, dining, buslines and services. An easy commute to either downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul, and close to Como Park and Zoo, Como Lake and the golf course! Fabulous updates include a new hot water heater in 2023; new roof and kitchen renovation in 2022; and new furnace and central air in 2021. Move right in and enjoy!
