Property Description

This jewel-box home sits on a hill overlooking the trees of Minnehaha Creek and Parkway. Available for the first time in over forty years, the gorgeous home has been lovingly attended and continually updated throughout the years. One of many highlights is a fully rebuilt cook’s kitchen with custom cabinets, honed granite counters and high-end appliances. And as you step inside this home, it is the beauty of the original wood floors, dining room oak wainscoting panels with beamed ceiling, large bay window, French doors and millwork that showcase the artisan craftsmanship. Incredible wood burning fireplace, built-in bookcases and southern exposure windows make the living room the perfect space for reading or gathering with friends. The European sunroom overlooking the backyard has heated Italian marble floors, 3 walls of windows, 2 sets of French doors along with the amazing original beadboard ceiling…this room is magical. Updates to the exterior of the home include a new roof (2024), complete stucco resurface, rebuilt front stoop, full replacement concrete and brick retaining wall. The backyard is fenced for privacy with playhouse/potting shed and garden space. This is an exceptionally beautiful home located at the end of a quiet and coveted block just steps away from spectacular Minnehaha Creek with walking and bike paths to Lake Harriet. Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, grocery, library and schools, yet with easy access to freeways….an amazing neighborhood to live!
