Privately set on a quiet Golden Valley cul-de-sac just steps from Sochacki Park, Sweeney Lake, and miles of scenic trails, this well maintained home has been proudly owned by the same family for 43 years and features over $190,000 in thoughtful improvements. Inside, oak hardwood floors, matching oak trim and built-ins, and fresh interior paint create a warm and inviting feel. The spacious living room is anchored by a classic brick-hearth fireplace and flows into a formal dining area overlooking the backyard. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, double oven, tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, and abundant cabinetry. The main level offers three bedrooms, including a private primary suite with walk-in closet and ¾ bath. The walkout lower level adds generous living space with a large family room centered around a second wood-burning fireplace, two oversized bedrooms, and flexible space ideal for guests or work-from-home needs. A renovated screened porch with six-inch wood flooring overlooks the flat backyard and connects seamlessly to the patio and yard below. Major improvements include a new roof, Andersen double-pane windows, high-efficiency HVAC and central AC, water heater, refinished hardwood floors, new carpeting, and extensive exterior updates. Located near Theodore Wirth Regional Park, paved biking and walking trails, a public kayak launch on Sweeney Lake, and just minutes from downtown Minneapolis, highways, and The Shops at West End, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and convenience.
