1220 43 1/2 NE Avenue, Columbia Heights, MN 55421

The sellers have been putting money into this house since they bought it, and not the way a flipper does. They lived here, and it shows in what they chose to spend on.

The kitchen half wall came out, turning three separate rooms into one bright space under vaulted ceilings. The main bath was stripped and rebuilt in classic subway tile. Downstairs they pulled the carpet, laid new flooring, took out a wall, and plumbed in a wet bar. Outside, the house was resided in James Hardie fiber cement, and they added a paver patio and fenced the yard.

Four bedrooms, three on the main level. A big lower level family room with the wet bar and the fourth bedroom off it. Detached two car garage.

The street sits three blocks off Central Avenue, one of the better food corridors in the metro, with four independent coffee shops inside a mile. Kordiak Park is north, the Heights Theater still runs a single screen at 40th, and downtown is about twenty minutes.

Then they pre-inspected before listing and the report comes with the house.
