Overview

Description

Welcome to this updated bungalow that seamlessly blends classic charm with modern convenience. Completely refreshed with new paint on main level. Located in the sought-after Howe N’bhd, this home offers an expanded floor plan with slightly larger-than-typical rooms that create a welcoming & spacious feel. The highlight of the home is the stunning, fully renovated kitchen. Designed with entertaining in mind, the kitchen opens to the entire first floor, featuring updated finishes & ample space for gatherings. The remodeled bathroom adds a touch of luxury. Nestled in an ideal Minneapolis location, this home is steps away from the light rail for easy commuting and close to neighborhood gems like the Mississippi River, Fireroast Coffee, and Riverview Theater. Despite its convenience, the home feels tucked away in a peaceful community. Additional highlights include a cozy back screened porch overlooking the fenced yard—perfect for enjoying MN summers—and a newer oversized 2-car garage to spare you from scraping windows during snowy winters. The basement, a blank canvas with an ideal layout, is ready for your finishing touches to add even more square footage.
