Now available for pre-MLS showings--a fantastic almost-2,000 square foot townhouse in Wesley Commons--the best-kept secret in west-side townhouse living. This home is completely turn-key, with many updates and brand new paint, nice plank flooring on main level, and new carpet throughout upper level. This home is one of just a few 'extra-large sized' 2-bedrooms-plus-loft, two-story homes in this wonderful Golden Valley community. The added square footage results in a main floor that is much more open and airy feeling than most others in here, and adds a lot of space to the master suite, which allows for two closets including a large walk-in, and a very large master bathroom.

Speaking of the master suite, the current owner added Twin City Closet systems to both master closets. And the bathroom is updated with very cool modern tile and a stunning walk-in shower with a terrific glass partition. It is easily one of the most luxurious master suites you will find anywhere near this price point in the inner-ring suburbs.

The open main floor layout is spot-on and features a large kitchen with stainless steel appliances from Samsung, Frigidaire Gallery and Bosch that are less than 24 months old. The countertops have been updated and a Karran Edge Series sink, new fixtures and disposal installed. There is so much space to entertain--there are two bars in the kitchen that can seat about seven, plus the informal dining area, which is easily large enough to accommodate eight more. The kitchen is also open to a huge living room that features a gas fireplace adorned with a lovely surround including a nice mantel and art recess. A large foyer, half-bath and private stairs to the heated garage comprise the remainder of the main floor.

In addition to the extra-large master suite, the upstairs features a large guest bedroom and second (full) bathroom, and a really great loft area that can be utilized as a family room, giving this property a second functional gathering area--another great added bonus. The second floor laundry is a plus with functional shelving and brand new LG washer and dryer.

Wesley Commons is a community with character. This property walks out to the quiet courtyard side and features an outdoor patio overlooking some nice green spaces adorned with walking paths and lovely trees. And it's just a short walk to one of the fabulous establishments in the newly revitalized 55 and Winnetka area, such as Mort's Deli, Doolittle's Woodfire Grill, Smashburger, New Bohemian, Davanni's, Panchero's, D'Amico's, banks, hardware stores, coffee shops, and much more. The Luce Lune Trail is at your back door. Enjoy the natural beauty of Basset Creek, or grab a late-night tennis match under the lights at Brookview Park, just a five-minute walk from your door. Phenomenal access to downtown Minneapolis on bike, car or public transportation. With highways 55, 169 and 394 all just a few minutes away, Wesley Commons is one of the most convenient locations in the Twin Cities.

A great value--similar homes in the North Loop by the same builder sell for nearly two times this price.
