Beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home that blends charming curb appeal with inviting interior character and exceptional outdoor living. Ideally located near parks, the Mississippi River, Fridley High School, and just down the street from Hayes Elementary School. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and detail. The light-filled living room welcomes you with timeless wood flooring, expansive front-facing windows, and a stone accent wall sourced from the Iron Range, creating a true focal point. The updated kitchen (2022) continues the character with stainless steel appliances, two-tone cabinetry, floating shelves, and tile backsplash, all enhanced by abundant natural light. It flows seamlessly into the dining area, highlighted by statement lighting. All three bedrooms are located on the main level, each featuring continuous wood flooring, closet space, and great natural light, ideal for bedrooms, a home office, or creative use. The full bathroom offers a tub/shower combination, extended vanity space, and tile wainscoting for added detail. The lower level provides both charm and potential, with a spacious family room anchored by a unique blue brick statement wall, additional flex space for a bedroom or office, and a finished ensuite powder room with wood panel wainscoting. Laundry includes a utility sink and cabinetry. Outside, enjoy a large, serene, fully fenced yard with a partial stone privacy wall, covered porch, and maintenance-free deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Mature trees, landscaping, and a storage shed complete the space. Stone and brick exterior, attached 1-car garage, and extra driveway parking space add to the appeal. Several mechanical updates add comfort and peace of mind. A perfect blend of character, comfort, and outdoor living!
