Charming Cape Cod in the heart of the Diamond Lake neighborhood-just blocks from Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Creek and so many local parks! This home blends South Minneapolis charm with modern convenience, located just about a mile from Target and a full shopping center. Inside, you'll find coved ceilings, arched doorways, hardwood floors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace with a bay window in the living room. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, additional storage and butcher block counters with plenty of space for cooking and prep. Two spacious bedrooms on the main level, with additional finished space upstairs-including a third bedroom and office (or easily convert to a 4th bedroom!). The lower level offers an updated 3/4 bath and plenty of room to add an additional bedroom or office. Outside, enjoy an oversized 2-car garage and the most charming backyard playhouse or potential studio space. Major updates include a brand new roof and newer furnace and A/C (2021). A flexible layout and unbeatable location make this one a must-see!
