This gem of a house with its curated gardens and fully-fenced private yard is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the vibrant South Como neighborhood. It offers first-floor living, with the living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, full bathroom, office space, mudroom, and bedroom all on the main level. Three bedrooms, a small workspace, and a quarter bath are on the upper level. It is a wonderful home for multi-generational living that offers communal spaces for family fun or entertaining, and smaller spaces for storage or quiet work. The fully-fenced yard offers privacy as well as safety for pets and kids! The deck offers an "outdoor living room" with its pergola roof, shuttered open-air windows, and a pellet-burning stove that allows the space to be cozy in cooler months and a shady oasis in the summer. The yard has been lovingly planted with five native-plant beds, pollinator plants, a mushroom patch, and vegetable gardens. There is an A-frame structure nestled under a mature maple tree for a beautiful yard retreat or playhouse. The boulevard has been professionally landscaped, and offers a raised bed garden that is meant to share its abundance with the neighborhood. A raspberry patch flourishes next to the garage. This calm retreat in the middle of the city is within walking distance to Como Pool, Como Park, Como Golf Course, Murray Fields, the Outdoor Woods Classroom, Como Lake, Gabe's in the Park, Orchard Rec Center, as well as Great River School, the Twin Cities German Immersion School, Como High School, Common Roots Montessori Preschool, Metro Deaf School, and the Allina Health Clinic at Bandana Square. This is a rare urban retreat with indoor-outdoor living and a strong connection to the surrounding community. Don't miss it!
