Listing Notes
Open houses on Saturday & Sunday have been cancelled. Property is under contract. Terrific A+ location in popular Linden Hills! Walk only 2 blks to Lake Harriet, Lake Bde Maka Ska, and Linden Hills' quaint restaurants & retail! Property is truly in turn-key condition. Thoughtfully & tastefully updated and maintained immaculately by Sellers inside & out. Vintage design details have been preserved & enhanced in keeping with the 1912 era & modern conveniences blend seamlessly with the vintage decor. The beautifully renovated & expanded kitchen and 4 baths all feel timeless due to vintage details. IE: Gorgeous tile in main bath echoes original tile in foyer. Handsome vintage light fixtures added to flrs 1 and 2 are authentic & made of real brass. The main floor features a lovely living/family room, anchored by a wood burning fireplace and enormous windows overlooking a forested park. Divided light French doors lead into one of two original sunrooms which has been repurposed as an office/den. The upper floor features 3 bdrms and 2 baths, and a 2nd sunroom/den. Sellers created an opening between the Primary Bdrm & adjacent Bdrm 3 to use Bdrm 3 as a dressing room plus convenient access to Bedrm 3's en suite bath. If desired, Buyer can close the opening by installing a small wall which will also add add'l closet space to one of the two bdrms. Bdrm 3 is currently non-conforming since it connects via an opening to the primary bdrm. The room can be repurposed as a nursery, office-den, guest bedroom, or sleeping room for homeowner. Dont miss the beautiful tile medallion in the floor of shower in main 3/4 bath, and the serenity of the full en suite bath in Bed 2. Both Bdrm 1 & 2 connect to a 4-season sunroom/den which was the original sleeping porch. Either door can be removed and the opening sheetrock-closed if homeowner desires only one room to have access to the room. If desired, this room could be repurposed as a nursery, office, playroom.or possibly become a dressing room or new private bath ensuite for the primary bedroom. The lower level is fully finished & features a family room with abundant custom storage cabinetry, a large finished laundry room with add'l deep custom storage, a bonus room for exercise or hobbies, and a utility room with even more storage. Be sure to visit the peaceful backyard with a lovely brick patio & walkways, established perennials, and access to the detached 2-car garage. Bonus feature: The in-ground irrigation system includes water lines to the street-facing window boxes. The property shares the driveway which provides access to the Buyers' 2-stall detached garage. There is a legal easement. Additional parking is allowed on both sides of Richfield Road (one-way).
