Charming "Secret Garden" Home in the Heart of Kenny – Minneapolis
Tucked away in the beloved Kenny neighborhood, this delightful home offers a peaceful retreat with all the conveniences of city living. Step inside to find a freshly updated kitchen and new paint throughout, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
Enjoy casual dinners on the private backyard patio, cozy breakfasts in the eat-in kitchen, and strolls to local favorite Lola for lunch. With easy access to the parkway, you’re just minutes from Lake Harriet, Lake Nokomis, and all the green space in between.
Commuting is a breeze with quick connections to Hwy 62, 35W, and Hwy 100. The finished basement features a 3/4 bath, a cozy family room perfect for movie nights, and a spacious laundry room with a sleek stainless steel sink and extra storage.
The oversized 2+ car garage is ideal for storing yard tools and equipment—especially handy for the private driveway (no alley access here!). Recent updates include a radon mitigation system, a new front walkway (2022), and durable cement-board siding (2023).
This light-filled, lovingly maintained home is full of character and comfort. Come take a look—you just might fall in love.
