A few times a year in any given area and price range, a home comes on the market that is truly a standout, and this is one of those times.

So many things to love about this wonderful Northeast 1-1/2 story, inside and out. This home sits on a block of wonderful homes and makes a great first impression from the curb, with terrific lines, newer stucco and architectural roof, and lovely landscaping.

The interior has so much to offer. The public areas of the main floor boast plenty of 1940s character including lovely woodwork, gorgeous original doors, a brick fireplace and hardwood floors. All the walls have a fresh coat of modern paint, and the windows are newer, too. The kitchen is updated with granite and stainless appliances, and has a nice breakfast nook as well. The upper level is shockingly spacious, and a really nice modern tight-loop carpet has just been installed. Look further and you will find many nice surprises including a lovely back porch, huge deck surrounded by so much great landscaping, and a spacious side yard that boasts some nice green space and some really nice smaller trees including a magnolia that flowers dramatically in the spring.

For those who may have a lot of hobbies, like to tinker, have lots of "stuff"... there is an awesome workshop attached to the large two-car garage, and the basement has a ton of space for storage to go along with its huge finished laundry room, large family room and really nice 3/4 bathroom.

This home is located in a quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to parks, shops and restaurants and is just a quick drive away from Downtown and the heart of Northeast, one of the most vibrant, up-and-coming neighborhoods in the Twin Cities.
