Straight from the pages of a storybook, the perennial garden creates the feeling of a country cottage in the heart of Minneapolis. Layers of established blooms welcome bees and butterflies while offering a sustainable, low-maintenance alternative to a traditional lawn. Inside, this beautifully curated home is filled with warmth and natural light. An abundance of newer windows lets the sunshine pour in, while painted hardwood floors add to the home's character. The inviting living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace, while the dining room features a classic built-in that adds both charm and function. The light-filled kitchen features generous workspace, ample storage, and a premium Miele oven. Offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the upper-level den provides flexible bonus space and is currently used as a fourth bedroom. Step outside to a spacious deck where you'll be surrounded by gardens and a charming chicken coop that perfectly complements the home's storybook setting. The detached, fully insulated two-car garage, currently used as a studio, easily accommodates two vehicles while still offering additional storage. Thoughtful updates, including newer windows and roof, a new hot water heater, and a brand-new furnace and air conditioner, offer peace of mind for years to come. Ideally located near neighborhood parks, shops, and restaurants, with easy access to the vibrant areas around 54th & Lyndale and 54th & Penn, this home offers the best of Minneapolis living. Thoughtfully designed with a mix of comfort, character, and timeless style, every room feels warm and welcoming. A private retreat with all the conveniences of city living.
