Nestled just one block from Lake Harriet Beach and the expansive green spaces of Lynnhurst Park and Field, this classic South Minneapolis Tudor offers an exceptional opportunity in one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Surrounded by homes that routinely command significantly higher prices, this property presents a rare chance to build equity through thoughtful updates while enjoying an unbeatable location from day one.
Inside, timeless character shines through with original oak hardwood floors, a formal dining room, and a welcoming living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A rare main-floor four-season family room/porch provides additional living space year-round and features a cozy gas fireplace, making it the perfect retreat for Minnesota’s changing seasons. The kitchen has been refreshed with new flooring, while new carpet in a main-floor bedroom, family room, and upper level adds comfort and a fresh feel throughout.
The flexible floor plan offers tremendous potential. Two bedrooms and a beautifully preserved Art Deco tiled full bath are located on the main level. Upstairs, a large bedroom could easily be divided into two separate rooms, creating up to five total bedrooms if desired. A second upper-level bedroom already provides four-bedroom functionality, while the expansive attic space offers an exciting opportunity to create a luxurious vaulted primary suite and significantly increase the home’s value.
Additional updates include new roof in 2022, newer central air conditioning, mini-split systems, and several MAC window improvements for enhanced comfort and efficiency. Outside, mature shade trees frame the property, while a spacious deck overlooks a backyard with room to add a two-car garage. The existing tuck-under garage could remain an ideal workshop or hobby space, while reconfiguring the grade could create even more usable yard area.
The full unfinished basement provides abundant storage with endless possibilities for future finished living space. Strategic improvements can unlock substantial upside, this Lake Harriet gem offers the location, charm, and potential that are increasingly difficult to find.
