Tucked into the vibrant Minnehaha neighborhood of South Minneapolis, this inviting home offers the perfect balance of character, thoughtful updates, and outdoor space. Set on a rare 60-foot-wide lot, the property provides room to relax, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors while still being just moments from Minnehaha Falls, the Mississippi River trail system, neighborhood cafés, and local parks. The main level welcomes you with warm hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and comfortable living spaces that create an inviting atmosphere from the moment you step inside. The living room flows naturally into the dining area, creating an open, connected layout that works beautifully for everyday living and hosting friends and family. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with a series of updates that enhance both function and style. Kitchen appliances were updated in 2019, followed by new countertops, backsplash, and sink installed in 2020, creating a clean and modern workspace with ample cabinet storage and room to prepare meals with ease. The home offers two bedrooms and a full bathroom, providing a practical and efficient layout. The bathroom has also been updated with a new vanity and flooring in 2023, and a new bathroom fan was added in 2019, creating a bright, refreshed space. Upstairs features new carpet installed in 2021, adding a comfortable, cozy feel and offering additional flexibility for a bedroom or living space. A number of important mechanical and efficiency improvements have been completed over the years. Attic insulation was added in 2019, and crawl space and rim joist insulation were installed in 2022 to improve comfort and efficiency throughout the home. Outside, the property truly shines. The spacious lot offers mature trees and additional room to relax, garden, or entertain. A patio installed in 2019 creates a wonderful setting for outdoor gatherings, while new back steps and a new back door installed the same year provide convenient access to the backyard. The detached garage has also seen several improvements, including new siding and paint in 2023, a new garage door installed in 2025, and an EV-ready 240-volt outlet also added in 2025. The garage roof was replaced in 2018. Located in one of Minneapolis’ most beloved neighborhoods, this home offers convenient access to Minnehaha Falls, the Mississippi River trail system, neighborhood parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and light rail access for easy commuting to downtown Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the airport. With its combination of updates, outdoor space, and exceptional location, this home presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the best of South Minneapolis living.
