A beautifully updated home where thoughtful design, inviting spaces and exceptional privacy come together. The impressive open great-room floor plan creates an effortless setting for both sophisticated entertaining and relaxed everyday living. At the heart of the home, the remodeled chef's kitchen features a generous granite island, upgraded appliances, glass-tile backsplash, glass-front cabinetry and under-cabinet lighting, flowing seamlessly into the dining and great room with rich hardwood floors. A gas fireplace framed by beautiful built-ins adds warmth and character, while French doors invite you outside to the private patio and professionally landscaped backyard-an idyllic retreat for morning coffee, summer evenings and gatherings with family and friends. Generously sized bedrooms offer wonderful flexibility, including main-level bedrooms with hardwood floors and a spacious lower-level primary suite with walk-in closet and private 3/4 bath. The expansive lower level provides another welcoming gathering space with a second gas fireplace, updated kitchenette/bar and plenty of room for movies, fitness, recreation or overnight guests. Outside, mature landscaping, raised garden beds and a striking red maple create a peaceful setting that feels remarkably private. Recent enhancements include refreshed landscaping, LeafGuard gutter covers, new window well covers and a new garage door opener. The location completes the lifestyle-just one block from Minnehaha Creek and four blocks from Armitage Park, with neighborhood restaurants and shops within walking distance and 50th & France nearby. Enjoy the perfect balance of a peaceful neighborhood setting with effortless access to downtown Minneapolis, the airport, and everything the city has to offer.
