This beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers a truly rare opportunity to enjoy lakeside living right in the city. Perfectly situated across from Lake Hiawatha, Hiawatha Park, and the golf course, the home places you at the center of year-round outdoor recreation. In the warmer months, enjoy swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, biking, and golfing just steps from your front door. In winter, the lake transforms into a wonderland for ice skating, cross-country skiing, and ice fishing. The neighborhood exudes charm and is celebrated for its walkability and lively mix of local businesses, from cozy bakeries and inviting coffee shops to craft breweries and one-of-a-kind boutiques. Commuting is a breeze with the light rail less than a mile away and the airport just a short drive, making travel convenient and stress-free. Just two blocks from the scenic parkway, which links to miles of bike trails, and only a few blocks from Lake Nokomis, the area perfectly balances urban accessibility with outdoor adventure. Step inside to a sunlit living room with rich wood flooring, elegant crown molding, and a detailed arched doorway that adds timeless character. Large windows provide an abundance of natural light and create a warm, welcoming space. The adjoining dining room features a stylish electric fireplace with a tiled surround and a statement light fixture, offering a perfect setting for gatherings or quiet dinners. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2020, features quartz countertops, high-end Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and modern lighting. A lovely garden window above the sink fills the space with daylight. A bright and peaceful sunroom at the back of the home offers serene views of the yard and direct access outside, blending indoor comfort with outdoor living. On the main level, you'll also find a spacious bedroom with crown molding, hardwood floors, dual closets, and a ceiling fan. Nearby is a full bathroom with tiled floors, a tub/shower combo with tile surround, and a convenient hallway closet for extra storage. Upstairs, the second bedroom offers views of the fully landscaped front yard, along with generous closet space and natural light. Across the hall, the third bedroom features dual closets, a ceiling fan, and more scenic views. The upper-level ¾ bathroom was completely remodeled in 2024 and includes a walk-in rain shower, heated tile flooring, and modern finishes. Just outside the bathroom is a cozy den area with heated tile floors and direct access to the 12x10 back deck, the perfect perch to enjoy sunsets and quiet evenings. The lower level provides excellent potential for future expansion. A finished 23x11 family room, completed in 2018, features durable flooring and a gas fireplace with a brick surround—an inviting space for movie nights or relaxing with guests. The rest of the basement offers ample opportunity to customize to your needs. With a beautifully landscaped front garden and an expansive 25x10 front porch, this home offers standout curb appeal. Renovated in 2020 and grandfathered in for its generous size and placement, the porch is a rare and desirable feature in the neighborhood. The property also includes a drive-through driveway and a detached two-car garage with a remote opener. Sixteen solar panels were installed on the home and garage in 2017, and the backyard is fully enclosed with chain link fencing for added privacy. Extensive updates have been thoughtfully completed to ensure modern comfort and long-term peace of mind. A full list with dates is included in the Property Highlights.
