$365,000

The enclosed front porch is pure bungalow. Warm tongue-and-groove ceiling and three-season light from every side.

Classic 1920s South Minneapolis stucco bungalow with fresh gray trim and a welcoming front porch.

Another view of the porch shows the windows that wrap the space in morning sun and evening calm.

Sage green walls, original oak trim, and hardwood floors anchor the living room, with a clean sightline through to the main hall and bedrooms.

The living room opens to the front entry and windows. Original craftsman woodwork runs from the ceiling to the baseboard.

A wide oak-trimmed opening connects the living room to the coral dining room, keeping the main floor cohesive without losing the bungalow's room definition.

The original oak built-in buffet with glass doors is the quiet showpiece. Craftsmanship, storage, and a direct link to the home's 1920s roots.

Looking back from the dining room, the coral walls, classic chandelier, and open flow to the green living room define the heart of the main floor.

The kitchen has been refreshed with subway tile, stainless appliances, honey cabinetry, and new flooring. A back mudroom nook adds useful storage.

Another kitchen angle highlights the corner layout, stainless steel range, and fridge.

Glass-front cabinetry and a deep stainless sink pair with a gas range and dishwasher. Equal parts charm and function.

Stainless gas range, dishwasher, and a wrap-around counter with two work zones. Every inch of this kitchen earns its keep.

The tucked pantry zone with a tall cabinet, original oak door, and a window pot rack keeps the main kitchen tidy, and the back entry closed.

The center hall connects every bedroom with warm yellow walls, original dark oak doors, and a small glass chandelier overhead.

The main-floor primary bedroom. Twin double-hung windows, fresh paint, and original maple hardwood underfoot.

A second view of the primary shows the original dark-stained door, a wall-mounted TV, and a floor plan that works beautifully for single-level living.

A flexible second bedroom, currently styled as a home office, pairs soft pink walls with maple floors and south-facing light. Ready for any life stage.

Another angle of the flex room shows the original closet door, natural window light, and space to reinvent, however the next chapter calls for.

The main-floor bath keeps its period pedestal sink, classic tub fittings, and refreshed gray walls. Vintage that still feels daily-livable.

A full tub, a pedestal sink, and glass shelving. A tidy footprint that covers every daily routine.

Off the main hall, an oak staircase climbs to true bonus space upstairs. An original five-panel door stands guard over the hall closet.

The upper level is rare in a bungalow. Vaulted ceilings, original wood floors, and flex space ready for a studio, gear room, or future third bedroom.

Another upper-level angle shows the length of the space, the central support column, and a good-sized window drawing in afternoon light.

The basement staircase climbs to a cheerful main-floor landing. Painted block walls, sealed floors, and chrome shelving make the lower level feel active.

A dedicated storage room with fresh white paint, sealed concrete floor, and chrome shelving already in place. Move in and unpack the bins.

A second storage zone with open framing and room to grow. Finish it your way or keep it flexible for seasonal gear and the holiday totes.

The mechanical room houses the gas forced-air furnace, electrical panel, and full laundry with washer, dryer, and a utility sink close at hand.

A 3/4 lower-level bath with shower, vanity, and toilet doubles the home's daily functional square footage. Great for guests, gym days, or a future rec room.

Oak vanity, framed mirror, and a calm teal palette keep the lower bath simple and easy on the eye.

The shower stall is clean, tiled, and ready after a run around Lake Nokomis or a Saturday in the yard.

A cedar pergola anchors the paver patio, shading a four-seat dining table and tying the yard to the back of the house.

The backyard stretches behind seven-foot cedar privacy fencing. In-ground sprinklers keep the lawn crisp from first thaw to October.

Looking toward the garage, the yard opens with room to garden, entertain, or simply exhale. A paver path connects the patio to the garage door.

A second paver patio tucks into the back corner by the garage, finishing off an outdoor space built for long summer evenings.

Detached two-car garage with alley access and address-marked gable. Clean streetscape up front, easy winter mornings at the back.

A softer spring view shows a mature willow, red-mulched beds, and the tidy lot that frames the home through every season.

Overview

Description

Classic 1920s South Minneapolis home in the heart of the Standish neighborhood, a short stroll north of Lake Hiawatha and a quick bike ride to Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Creek, and the parkway trails that thread through one of the most walkable, lake-rich pockets of Minneapolis 55407. This home blends original craftsman soul with thoughtful, livable updates. Inside, the warmth hits immediately. Rich oak trim, original five-panel doors with brass hardware, and hardwood floors carry the bungalow's story from the enclosed front porch through the living room, dining room, and hall. The showpiece is an original built-in oak buffet with glass doors, a genuine piece of Minneapolis craftsman history living right in the dining room. The refreshed kitchen keeps the honey-toned cabinetry and layers in subway tile, flooring, stainless steel appliances, glass-front uppers, and a tucked-back pantry zone with a clean path to the back door.

The refreshed kitchen keeps the honey-toned cabinetry and layers in subway tile, flooring, stainless steel appliances, glass-front uppers, and a tucked-back pantry zone with a clean path to the back door. Two bedrooms on the main floor.. The main-floor full bath keeps vintage tile charm alongside updated fixtures and a full tub-shower. A sunlit flex room off the main hall works beautifully as a second bedroom, home office, reading room, or dedicated studio space. The enclosed front porch is a quiet favorite: beadboard ceiling, windows on three sides, three-season use, and a gentle buffer from the street. The lower level adds a second bath with a shower, a dedicated laundry, wide-open storage, and a flexible footprint ready for a future rec room, home gym, or guest suite. The basement has been professionally waterproofed, quietly solving the biggest worry a century-old Minneapolis home can carry. Outside, a fully fenced backyard behind a seven-foot wood privacy fence wraps around a paver patio anchored by a cedar pergola, in-ground sprinklers, and room for a garden, a fire pit, and the dog. A detached two-car garage sits at the rear of the lot with alley access, so the streetscape stays clean and winter mornings stay simple. Major systems are already handled. The stucco was professionally recoated, the electrical service is 200+ amp, and the HVAC includes gas forced-air heat and central air conditioning on a smart thermostat. City sewer and water. Location is a quiet advantage. Lake Hiawatha and the Hiawatha Golf Course sit just blocks south. Lake Nokomis Main Beach, the Lake Nokomis Community Center, and the Minnehaha Creek parkway are an easy ten-minute bike ride away. Minnehaha Falls, Minnehaha Park, the Mississippi River trails, and the Midtown Greenway are all within comfortable reach. The Hiawatha light-rail line and Hiawatha Avenue put downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, and the Mall of America within a clean, car-optional commute. Lake Street, 38th Street, and the Hi-Lake commercial node round out the neighborhood with coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, bakeries, and grocery stores, including the beloved 38th Street shops in Standish and the Minnehaha Avenue corridor in neighboring Longfellow.
