Lovely hardwood floors extend from the foyer through to the living room, dining room, sunroom, and kitchen for continuity of design, and rich natural woodwork highlights the old world charm. Gather with family and friends in the handsome living room, accented with eye-catching ceiling trim and wonderful windows to bathe the space in natural light.

A double window plus recessed and pendant lighting provide plenty of light. A breezy ceiling fan will move the air on warm summer days, and there is a breakfast bar with counter seating for casual meals. The back entry cabinetry matches that of the kitchen, and leads to a bonus room that could be a reading or exercise nook, then on to the backyard gardens, patio and garage. The main bedroom is spacious and private, rebuilt in 2015, with neutral carpet, built-in shelving, a ceiling fan and bright windows. There is a generous closet, and the copper-colored ceiling adds visual interest and style. Find also two additional bedrooms, each with gleaming hardwood floors. These flexible rooms could function in a variety of ways to suit the changing needs of your household. The spa-like three-quarter bath was completely updated in 2019 with a large step in shower stall accented with gorgeous tilework,a stained glass window, a vanity with granite countertop, and a wood ceiling that reflects the vintage era of the home. The lower level features loads of super storage, a designated laundry, and plenty of space for your workbench or hobbies. There is also a ceramic tiled three-quarter bath. The backyard is an oasis in the city, with a large patio for outdoor gatherings or for summer barbecues. Privacy fencing and gorgeous garden spaces add to the tranquil atmosphere. Your car will be protected in the one garage stall. The association is composed of only two owners who share the common areas of the building and its management. Great location is an understatement! Close to schools and parks, plus an easy commute to either downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
