Overview

Description

Welcome to this fully reimagined corner-lot home in the heart of the Kenny neighborhood, where classic charm meets elevated modern living. Taken down to the studs in a comprehensive 2017 renovation with a two-story addition and an oversized new two car garage, this home was thoughtfully rebuilt for today’s lifestyle and lives like new construction. Hardwood floors, a shiplap gas fireplace, and an open, inviting layout make it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is a true centerpiece with black stainless appliances, a quartz island with farmhouse sink, honed granite countertops, and custom soft-close cabinetry. A side-entry mudroom and stylish main-level bathroom add convenience. The main-floor owner’s suite is a rare find, offering a spa-inspired bathroom and walk-in closet for comfortable one-level living. Four bathrooms, one on every level, including the main-level owner’s suite, ensuring comfort, privacy, and flexibility for everyday life and hosting. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, a beautifully finished full bath, and a versatile loft space. The lower level is designed for relaxing with a bar area, theater room with built-in speakers, an additional bathroom, and expansive storage in the laundry area. Outside, the extra-wide corner lot provides a generous backyard framed by a wraparound privacy fence, complete with a patio, pergola, and garden beds. The oversized 24 x 24 garage is a dream for garage enthusiasts, fully finished with drywall and insulation and equipped with a Ryobi smart garage door opener that includes a built-in air compressor and retractable extension cord. Kenny Park is just one block away and offers pickleball courts, a splash pad, a large playground, and winter skating and sledding. The location also puts you minutes from award-winning restaurants, a neighborhood hardware store, Minnehaha Creek, and miles of bike and walking trails. This is carefree neighborhood living at its best.
