Stop waiting for the perfect opportunity—this is it. Whether you’re looking for a smart investment or a way to finally own in South Minneapolis, this spacious duplex checks all the boxes. The larger unit offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, while the other features 2 bedrooms and 1 bath—live in one and rent the other, or rent both and watch the income roll in. A rare bonus: a second-story addition was built, but only one side was finished. Complete the other side and instantly create an 8-bedroom, 4-bath property with major rental upside and built-in equity. Both units feature original hardwood floors (with carpet protecting them on one side), full basements ready to finish, and plenty of character. The location seals the deal—nestled between Lake Nokomis and Diamond Lake, you’re on the bus line, near top Minneapolis schools, steps from parks and trails, and just minutes to major highways for easy access anywhere in the city. Opportunities like this don’t sit for long. Move quickly and make this property your next smart investment—or your way into a thriving neighborhood without the single-family price tag!
