This East Harriet gem is nestled on a desirable corner lot only two blocks from Bryant park and one of the best sledding hills in Minneapolis, six blocks from the Lake Harriet Rose Garden, and a short walk to the lake itself. Enjoy the convenience of being near local restaurants, multiple bike paths including Bryant Ave routes. Even the neighborhood dog park is just three blocks away. From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch, you’ll feel the warmth this home has provided over the years. Gorgeous original hardwood floors on both levels, bathed in beautiful natural light. The living room features stunning woodwork, a wood-burning fireplace, beautiful radiators, and a built-in with original glass—classic craftsmanship you won’t find in newer homes. The main floor also has one bedroom and full bath. The freshly painted interior gives the space a clean, welcoming glow. The kitchen has freshly painted original cabinets and a new luxury vinyl tile floor. Downstairs, the basement has been painted and prepped, offering a blank canvas for future equity—a family room, creative studio, or additional living space awaits. The landscaping was thoughtfully designed by master gardener Jan Bailey, with an emphasis on native plants and perennials. The front yard is a haven for pollinators, with bees, birds, and a family of cardinals calling the crabapple tree home. The majestic Siberian pine is a standout favorite. In the backyard, a fully fenced yard frames a cozy green space. A paver patio and fire pit area make this ideal for quiet evenings or lively weekend gatherings in one of the city's most walkable, desirable neighborhoods.
