Located in the Waite Park neighborhood of northeast Minneapolis, this move-in-ready home is surrounded by parks and local charm. This home boasts a comfortable layout with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, an office/flex room, kitchen, and living room on the Main level. Several rooms have hardwood floors. The living room has great natural light and a cove ceiling. The eat-in kitchen is a welcoming spot to start each morning. The generous primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and pine paneling for a cabin-like retreat, plus a large anteroom separated by French doors that is perfect for a home office or nursery. A sizable second bedroom is just across the hall. The finished (and dry) basement includes an egress window and ample space to add another bedroom across from the den or multipurpose space, plus a convenient second toilet and stall. The laundry room includes a high-efficiency LG washer and dryer (2022). Outdoors you'll find a spacious patio and large deck for entertaining, shaded by mature trees and skirted by dozens of established hostas, lilacs, weigela, and more. The front and side lawns feature gorgeous limelight hydrangeas, peonies, sedum, and lilies, plus a thriving native pollinator garden and strawberry patch. The garage has a newer garage door and a fresh coat of paint. Inside, there is room for a car plus a workbench, and it opens onto a driveway wide enough for two vehicles. The location is one of the best neighborhoods in Minneapolis, blocks from four well-maintained city parks, several charming local restaurants and shops, and a large community garden. It's a quick bike ride to the famous Northeast Arts District and a short drive or bus ride to downtown Minneapolis.
