***Offer received. All offers DUE by 5:00 pm on Saturday, August 9. Located on an inviting and quiet street in Minneapolis’ much sought-after Fulton neighborhood, this gorgeous craftsman will be a great place to call home! Crisp and clean landscaping and a bountiful river birch tree greet you as you approach the home. The open front porch with its stately column invites you to relax amidst a summer breeze while you sip a fresh-squeezed lemonade. You will awe at the stunning, pristine original woodwork (unpainted!) as you enter the front door, entryway (with space for coats & shoes) and venture into the large living and dining rooms. All the natural light from the front bank of windows and stylish uppers flanking the wood burning fireplace glisten on the pristine hardwood floors. The spacious dining room can fit the smallest to most grandiose table for meals with loved ones. Store your nicest dishes in the extra-long, beautiful built-in buffet to the side — well placed so the wall into the kitchen might someday be removed without disturbing it, to create a more open entertaining space. The original hardwood floors extend into the two main floor bedrooms, both with original walk-in closets. The vintage pink bathroom between them is in fantastic condition, and lovers of that classic look with salivate at the old-school vibe. The kitchen boasts natural light from a bay window above the sink, and freshly-painted original cabinets (that go all the way to the ceiling!) with classic pulls. Bring your design ideas and make it truly shine. But that’s not all on the main floor — a four-season sun porch adjacent to the kitchen makes a perfect spot for a breakfast nook to have your morning coffee, a light and airy office perfect for video conferencing, reading room, or space for the avid crafter. Climb the steps to the fully-finished upper half story, which boasts a spacious third bedroom with skylights and built in cabinetry, and a lovely sitting area. Your eyes will widen at the full bath upstairs (yes, a second full bathroom!) with separate tub and shower (with skylight!), tile floor, built in storage cabinet, and a gigantic walk-in closet. Just when you thought the house checks all your boxes, you’ll experience the coup de grâce of your tour as you venture to the finished basement. Entertain friends and family in the huge, open family room — perfect for watching movies, board game nights, or even working out. The three-quarter knotty-pine bath is a stunner downstairs — yes, this house has a bathroom on every level! Enter into the utility room and find all the storage space you’re looking for — the shelving comes with the house! Also note the radon mitigation system for peace of mind and the new high-efficient furnace (2024). A heat pump was installed in 2024 as well for economical whole-house cooling. With full privacy fence, the backyard is a lovely oasis with paver patio to grill delicacies with friends or lounge in the sun (or shade!) with the latest mystery novel. The home is very close to a myriad of recreation, and local shopping and dining. You’ll be just mere blocks from the ever-popular Linden Hills neighborhood, and you can easily walk to the retail corner of Xerxes and 50th, France and 50th, and in four blocks you’re at Lake Harriet, ready for a summer stroll or bike ride to experience the wonder of the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes. Don’t miss your chance to live in the rich warmth of this spacious, lovingly-cared-for home on a cute and quiet street close to the heart of Minneapolis outdoor recreation and artisan retail.
