Welcome to this fantastic 2-story in the highly sought-after Marcy Holmes neighborhood conveniently located near local parks, shops, restaurants, and The University of Minnesota. Close to public transit and with great freeway access, this home is tucked away in a private and secluded neighborhood. Here you can relax and enjoy beauty and quiet: in the lovely, enclosed 3-season front porch; in the amazing 4-season great room at the rear of the house; in the private side-yard area, perfect for outdoor gatherings and BBQs; or the backyard garden oasis itself complete with mature trees, perennials, and ponds. Inside experience historic charm: decorative glass windows; paneled doors; and gorgeous natural woodwork, including built-in hutches, bannisters, pillars, and shelves. The eat-in kitchen features beautiful beams, an abundance of classic wood cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and newer appliances: gas range, microwave and dishwasher (all replaced in 2025).  On the upper level, enjoy 3 bright, beautiful bedrooms with large walk-in closets; a full bath surrounded in tile; and walk-up access to an extensive unfinished attic space. This home boasts an amazing amount of off-street parking: an oversized, 2-car detached garage and a convenient, extra parking space. Recent updates include: all new carpet and paint (2026); boiler updates (pump, expansion tank & relief valve) (2025). One-year home warranty included for peace of mind. This home truly has it all and is ready for the new owner to move in and make their own.
