Overview

Description

Welcome to this incredible corner-lot opportunity in the heart of Hopkins—located in the highly sought-after “Avenues,” one of the most desirable pockets in the area. This side-by-side duplex offers the perfect blend of investment potential and owner-occupant flexibility. Each unit lives like its own home. One side features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, while the other offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms—ideal for maximizing rental income or offsetting your mortgage through house hacking. Spacious layouts, functional living areas, and great natural light make both units highly appealing to tenants and owners alike. Outdoor spaces are just as inviting, with a deck off the back—perfect for relaxing summer evenings—and a patio area ideal for grilling and entertaining. The corner lot provides added privacy, extra yard space, and strong curb appeal. Location is where this property truly shines. Just one block from the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail, you’ll have quick access to miles of biking, walking, and running trails that connect you to both Excelsior and Minneapolis. You’re also within walking distance to vibrant downtown Hopkins—home to local favorites like coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, and boutique shopping, along with parks and community events year-round. Hopkins continues to grow in popularity thanks to its small-town charm, strong sense of community, and unbeatable convenience. With easy access to major roadways including Highway 7, 169, and 494, plus multiple bus lines and nearby future light rail expansion, commuting is simple whether you're heading downtown or around the metro. Whether you’re an investor looking to add a solid asset in a high-demand rental market or a buyer looking to live in one unit while building equity, this property checks all the boxes. Opportunities like this in Hopkins—especially in the Avenues—don’t come up often.
