If you've been home-shopping in South Minneapolis, you know Kingfield: Patisserie 46 on a Sunday morning, Bûcheron on a Tuesday night when you don't feel like cooking, a walk to Lake Harriet whenever the mood strikes. You also know that finding something completely turnkey in this neighborhood, at this price point, with turn-of-the-century character that hasn't been steamrolled by gray paint, is an extremely tall order. And yet here we are at 4531 Blaisdell Avenue. The three-season front porch, surrounded by large windows with a mature Japanese maple right outside, makes a fall evening postcard-worthy. Inside, the early-1900s interior shows itself off with original hardwood floors, period crown molding, and a set of decorative columns with hand-crafted millwork caps separating the living room from the formal dining room. The kitchen is something fun and different: candy-apple-red Cambria quartz countertops, a whimsical mosaic tile backsplash, a 36-inch ZLINE commercial gas range, a 24-inch Miele dishwasher, and a picture window so oversized it barely seems residential. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a full bath with black-and-white checkerboard floors, a pedestal sink with sconces, and both a clawfoot tub and a standing shower. One bedroom features a built-in Murphy bed, making it a natural home office that converts to a guest room on demand. Outside, there's no yard work consuming your weekends - instead, an enormous 27' x 25' detached garage goes well beyond off-street parking and could easily accommodate furniture restoration, music practice, bike maintenance, or covered entertaining. And best of all, the home is comprehensively move-in-ready: new roof and siding on both the home and garage in 2024, new boiler and water heater in 2022, a radon mitigation system, fully updated electrical throughout, and USI Fiber already wired in. North Star Deli, Ena, Boludo, Silverbird Coffee, Alma Provisions, Brasa, Lake Harriet, and 35W are all within minutes. So whether you're enjoying the best of South Minneapolis or never leaving your own front porch, life at 4531 Blaisdell never tasted so good.
