Beautiful curb appeal is just the beginning of this charming 1 1/2 story home located in the heart of Kenny/Armitage neighborhood. Vintage coved ceilings, arched entrance, and newly finished hardwood floors set the tone. The sun filled living room is very inviting with large picture window and cozy brick fireplace flanked by additional windows with the same charming window grids. Spacious dining area spills out to a fabulous huge backyard deck, great for relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen has an added bump out, giving it the extra space you need, complete with new appliances and granite counters. The main floor has 2 bedrooms, flanked by an updated ceramic full bath. One of the bedrooms has french doors from the dining room and would also make an excellent office or den. The upstairs is sure to please as a delightful primary ensuite with gorgeous hardwood floors and built-ins. Ductless mini-split provides the comfort you need in all seasons. Plenty of space here with walk-in closet, adjoining office/sitting room/nursery, and a beautiful private 3/4 bath with glass block shower and Mosaic tile floor. The lower level provides nicely finished multi-purpose space with opportunity for more or enjoy the abundance of storage. There is a rough-in, making a future 3rd bath an easy option. The home is mechanically sound with 2017 furnace and A/C, and new roof and gutters in 2021. Private backyard sanctuary, not typically found in city lots, is fully fenced-in, with huge deck, and newer side walk. The oversized 2 car garage provides great parking space and storage with a convenient concrete drive . All this in an incredible Southwest location just a couple blocks from Minnehaha Creek Parkway, and walking distance to Lake Harriet. Surrounded by popular parks, restaurants and shops!
