Lovely and bright with all the character you've been searching for. Sunlight floods the living and dining rooms, showcasing original hardwood floors, rich woodwork, and a beautifully preserved built-in hutch and buffet that give this home its unmistakable old-world charm. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath complete the main living areas. The upper level offers a versatile home office or creative studio, perfect for working from home or carving out a dedicated space of your own. Head downstairs to a unfinished lower level -- a blank canvas ready for your vision, with generous room for a workshop, laundry, and storage to spare. Step outside to a fully fenced private backyard, your own quiet retreat in the city. Original garage is used by sellers on a daily basis, and provides an opportunity for equity growth with improvements. Location doesn't get much better: walk to Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Creek, and the shops and restaurants along Chicago Avenue. Trails, transit, and major highways are all within easy reach. Plus a home warranty is included for peace of mind. A truly great home!
