Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, this compact Standish home makes remarkably good use of every inch. An architect designed the interior around natural light, function and clean finishes, creating a home that feels considerably larger than its footprint suggests. More than $150,000 was invested in the professionally completed renovation, with appropriate permits and city inspections successfully passed. The open main level features vaulted architectural details and a beautifully remodeled kitchen with sage-blue cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, brand-new stainless-steel appliances, a dishwasher, gas range with griddle and casual counter seating. A spacious coat closet adds practical storage, and both bathrooms were completely remodeled with generous storage, stylish tile selections and back-lit, anti-fog mirrors. The lower level was finished with equal care. A full drain-tile system around the perimeter of the foundation and sump pump were installed before completing the comfortable family room, separate flex room and half bath. Nearly everything is new as of 2026, including the kitchen, bathrooms, plumbing, electrical, forced-air furnace, central air, water heater and appliances. Exterior improvements include an architectural shingle roof in Fall of 2025, Hardie board siding, insulated exterior walls, updated windows, new front steps and an extensive concrete parking pad. The City of Minneapolis Truth in Housing evaluation gave the home an impressive 96 out of 100 for energy efficiency. The generous backyard and oversized one-car garage with opener add even more function. This is a small house that was treated like a much larger project, with considerable thought, craftsmanship and investment put into making it beautiful, comfortable and useful.
