Extraordinary 2+ story beauty in the heart of Minneapolis' beloved Seward neighborhood, impeccably maintained and rich with timeless character. Spacious sun-filled rooms showcase gorgeous natural woodwork, numerous built-ins, freshly refinished hardwood floors, and stunning original beveled glass windows. The inviting front porch is the perfect place to start or end the day, and the newer eat-in kitchen offers generous storage and countertop space and is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. The upper level features three bedrooms, including a primary with two closets, a 2nd bedroom with a balcony, the middle room large enough for a queen, and the walk-up attic provides exceptional storage. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a true urban oasis unlike anything else in the city - complete with two ponds, two waterfalls, a winding brick walkway, large deck, huge pergola, and an architect designed heated studio with skylights, along with a separate workshop/storage shed. The clean, dry basement offers laundry, abundant storage, and future possibilities. Additional updates include quality wood windows throughout, a new Burnham boiler and a new roof in 2024. This incredible location is just steps from the Mississippi River, walking and biking trails, neighborhood restaurants, cafes, and more, with easy access to freeways and major thoroughfares. This is a rare opportunity to own a very special Seward home filled with character, warmth, and exceptional outdoor living.
