Welcome to 5644 12th Ave. S. in sought-after Diamond Lake, offering parks, lakes, walking and biking trails, plenty of recreational opportunities and a Kowalski's Market. This beautiful home has had the same owners for the last 28 years and is now available! This rare, true two-story home is move-in ready for its new owner. The home features timeless character and charm, with attention to detail throughout. The interior has been professionally painted in neutral colors, and the main-floor hardwood floors have been professionally refinished and look beautiful! You will also notice the many thoughtful updates, including select new outlets, light switches and cover plates, ceiling fans, and light fixtures. The main floor features a beautiful cove ceiling, stunning staircase to the upper level, and a bedroom or office with a convenient half bath, stainless steel appliances and natural stone flooring in the kitchen and informal dining area. Upstairs you will find three large bedrooms, hardwood floors, spacious closets, some built-ins and an updated full bath. The exterior is stucco with all aluminum trim, and the home was originally built with a flat roof. A traditional hip-style roof was added in 2020 over the existing flat roof. The garage was built in 2003 and features a 16' x 8' overhead door, offering excellent clearance for taller vehicles or vehicles with roof racks, and the furnace, central air and water heater were replaced in 2020. In 2026, the back concrete steps and a small section of sidewalk were replaced. The home also features Metropolitan Airports Commission upgrades to the windows and doors. The fully fenced backyard features a storage shed, two storage bins, and a beautiful south- and west-facing L-shaped deck. A well-designed paver-style driveway adds to the home's curb appeal. This home has been fully inspected, radon tested, and the sewer line has been cleaned and reported to be in good condition. A 1-year home buyer warranty is included. Enjoy nearby Diamond Lake Park, Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Creek, and easy access to all that South Minneapolis has to offer.
