This is the South Minneapolis charmer you’ve been waiting for. From the moment you step onto the sweet, sun-drenched front porch, you’ll feel right at home. Inside, bright white walls and crisp woodwork create a fresh, airy vibe, perfectly complemented by warm, original hardwood floors that add just the right touch of character.
This home packs a punch for the size—featuring an updated bathroom with classic subway tile and clever built-ins, plus a few unexpected surprises like a main floor mudroom with a newly added washer and dryer, primary bedroom roomy enough for a king-sized bed, and a large walk-in closet on the upper-level. Outside, you’ll find a fenced yard for pets, play, or gardening, and a detached garage with a spacious side porch that’s perfect for bonus storage or bikes.
Whether you’re starting out, simplifying, AIRBNB opportunity, or simply looking for a place that feels like home the moment you arrive—this one is ready to welcome you. Conveniently located near Lake Nokomis and Minnehaha Falls.
