Description

Move-in ready, this charming 1.5-story home is a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers seeking a comfortable and welcoming lifestyle. Built in 1910, it offers 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with a spacious and inviting front porch that sets the tone for the warm and homey interior. Step inside to the inviting foyer, complete with a classic chandelier and wood staircase leading upstairs. Gleaming hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the cozy living and dining areas, creating a warm and cohesive atmosphere. Both upper-level bedrooms also feature hardwood floors, and the full bathroom on the on this same level is conveniently located and offers everyday functionality with a touch of vintage charm. The cheerful kitchen is full of personality and practical appeal, featuring vibrant blue cabinetry, a gas range, a generously sized walk-in pantry for all your storage needs, and an adjacent breakfast bar - perfect for casual meals or morning coffee. The lower level, while not included in the finished square footage due to unfinished walls and ceiling, offers brand-new carpeting (Feb 2025) and provides a cozy and versatile bonus space ideal for a family room, home office, playroom, or personal gym. Step outside to a fenced backyard that’s full of potential. With a paver patio area already in place, it's a great space for grilling, dining al fresco, or hosting weekend get-togethers. With a little TLC, this could easily become your private outdoor sanctuary. The 2-stall garage provides essential off-street parking, a major plus during snowy Minnesota winters. With its inviting spaces, thoughtful updates, and move-in ready condition, this home is ready to welcome you - don't hesitate to make it yours!
