Property Listing
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. 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.
