Description

Welcome home to this beautifully renovated Northeast Minneapolis gem, ideally situated on a corner lot in the desirable Audubon Park neighborhood. Thoughtfully updated while preserving as much of the home’s original character and charm as possible, this property offers a wonderful combination of modern improvements, flexible living space, abundant natural light, and exciting future potential.

Step inside to beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and high-end LED recessed lighting with dimmers throughout the main and lower levels. Large windows throughout the home bring in wonderful natural light, creating bright, warm, and inviting living spaces.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the home’s original cabinetry and character. Because cabinetry of this style and craftsmanship is difficult to replicate today, the original cabinets were retained wherever possible. Additional cabinetry was added where needed and carefully stained to complement the original wood tone as closely as possible. The kitchen also features new quartz countertops, a quartz backsplash, new flooring, pantry storage, and a newly added dishwasher.

The main-level bathroom has been refreshed with new tile in the shower, a new vanity, and a new toilet.

The previously unfinished lower level has been completely transformed into functional living space, adding another bedroom with a new egress window, a new 3/4 bathroom, spacious family room, dedicated space for a home office, and additional storage. High-quality carpet with upgraded padding provides extra comfort throughout the lower level.

Additional improvements include brand-new front and side entry doors and fresh paint inside and out. The home also features a radon mitigation system, Carrier furnace, Speed Queen washer, two sump pumps, and a drain tile system.

Outside, enjoy a fully chain-link fenced yard—great for kids and pets—along with generous front-yard space, a concrete driveway, and an oversized two-car garage built in 2012. The corner lot provides additional outdoor space and is surrounded by a wonderful neighborhood setting with beautiful mature trees.

And there’s still room to grow! The unfinished upper level offers incredible future potential. With unusually tall ceilings for a home of this era, the space could potentially be finished into a private primary suite featuring a bedroom, full bathroom, and landing or sitting area—creating additional finished square footage and the possibility of transforming the home into a 4-bedroom, 3-bath property.

Conveniently located near neighborhood parks, grocery stores, restaurants, and everything Northeast Minneapolis has to offer, with easy access to major highways and Downtown Minneapolis.

Professionally staged and truly move-in ready, this home blends the character and charm of a classic Northeast Minneapolis home with the updates and functionality you want today. From the natural light and mature trees to the fenced yard and future expansion possibilities, this is the perfect place to call home.
