Welcome to this charming bungalow in the highly sought-after Hale neighborhood, where classic character meets thoughtful updates—all just a short walk from Minnehaha Creek, Lake Nokomis, and the city’s extensive network of scenic hiking and biking trails. The heart of the home is the beautifully renovated open kitchen, featuring a large center island and custom cherry cabinetry, including panel ready appliances—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level showcases original hardwood floors, elegant coved ceilings, and a cozy gas fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. You’ll find two bedrooms on this level, one which is non-conforming and currently used as a home office, offering flexibility for your lifestyle. Upstairs, retreat to your primary bedroom complete with a newly finished full bathroom with double closets creating a private and peaceful sanctuary. Just off the kitchen, a bright three-season porch provides the perfect transition to your private, fully fenced stone courtyard—an ideal space for relaxing or hosting gatherings. Out back you'll also find a rare 3-car heated garage—perfect for Minnesota winters. The garage also has a large attic for extra storage. The basement offers additional potential with an extra toilet, rough-in for shower, and ample square footage ready for your finishing touches. Major updates include a new 95-97% energy efficient furnace/heat pump/AC unit still under warranty, giving you peace of mind for years to come. A wildflower garden was planted last fall to welcome you out front. The sellers are eagerly anticipating the first blooms this spring and summer. Purple Coneflower, Black-Eyed Susans, Bee Balm, Liatris, Rattlesnake Master, golden-hued Goldenrod, Little Bluestem, and Penstemon—will create a beautiful setting designed to support local pollinators and provide color throughout the summer. No mowing required. As an added bonus, there is a 3.25% assumable loan available for qualified buyers! **An offer has been received. The deadline for all offers is Saturday, April 25 at 4 pm.**
