1721 Rhode Island Avenue N, Minneapolis, MN 55427

Overview

Description

Rare Opportunity in One of Golden Valley's Most Sought-After Neighborhoods. Nestled on a generous 0.31-acre lot, this lovingly maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the perfect canvas for your next chapter. From the moment you arrive, the pride of ownership is evident — and the potential is undeniable. The thoughtful layout keeps four spacious bedrooms and a dedicated office all on one level, while a stunning sun-drenched four-season porch addition floods the home with natural light year-round. Step outside to a beautifully private backyard bursting with established perennials — a serene retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Downstairs, discover a rare bonus: a large secure room ideal for a gun collection, valuables, or additional storage — a feature that's hard to find and even harder to replicate. Set just minutes from downtown Minneapolis with easy access to major highways, this location checks every box. Enjoy nearby parks, local dining, the Brookview Golf Course, and the Golden Valley Community Center — all within reach. Whether you're an investor, a renovator, or a buyer with a fresh vision, this is a solid home in an unbeatable location that's ready to shine. Don't miss it — opportunities like this don't last.
