Charming Midcentury rambler situated proudly on choice lot makes for welcoming first impression! Blending classic architecture with thoughtful updates, including rich exterior paint color and contrasting light trim, offers sharp curb appeal. The home’s distinctive presence features an inviting, newer concrete walkway with steps that define the front yard and frame the home. Renovated covered front porch adds both style and function, with warm wood railings and a wood-plank ceiling, creating instant charm. Set above the street, enjoy the treetop neighborhood views, and wonderful sense of privacy. The wooden flower box adds even more curb appeal, and completes the front façade’s design aesthetic.
From the moment you enter, the front door’s original leaded glass with colorful accents set the tone for the home’s authentic character. Living spaces showcase original details, including main-level hardwood floors, cove ceilings, and arched doorways, all contributing to the home’s enduring charm. The living room’s brick wood-burning fireplace and mantel add texture, character, and warmth.
The cheerful kitchen features wood cabinetry, tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, ample prep surfaces, door access to the side yard and finished lower level, and an efficient layout with backyard views from the kitchen sink window. The dining room’s glass doors open to delightful backyard and fantastic patio, sizable enough for furniture groupings and grilling. Although situated on an elevated lot, you’ll be amazed to find a flat, fully fenced, private backyard oasis to enjoy!
The updated full bath has fresh lighting, vanity, plumbing fixtures, tile flooring, a marble-inspired tile tub surround, and lovely natural light. The primary bedroom is spacious, light, and bright and boasts multiple closets and built-ins. The second bedroom is also on the main level and features a new sliding barn door at the closet. Newer white window blinds are found throughout the main level, along with newer white doors at the bath and bedrooms.
Stairs lead down to a finished lower level that expands upon the home’s practical, connected design. Currently used as a fitness room, this versatile space can easily adapt as a family room, home office, or flex space. A separate mechanical area with a newer furnace, a laundry area with a newer dryer, utility tub, and additional storage with room for hobbies or workshop complete the lower level. The attached tuck-under garage, with a newer garage door and garage door opener, provides direct entry to the finished lower level, bringing everyday ease to the home’s layout.
The fully fenced backyard offers private green space for play, pets, and entertaining, with established greenery, natural boulder retaining walls, and terraced areas. Raised planting beds invite gardening. A new paver-style patio creates an additional seating area near the storage shed, which is perfect for keeping outdoor extras handy and organized. The backyard fence includes gated access to an on-site, alley-accessed parking area with space for two additional vehicles, a valuable convenience! With its many outdoor features, this backyard truly lives like an extension of the home.
From picturesque curb appeal and rich character to purposeful improvements, this home offers inviting indoor-outdoor spaces, all in a distinctive setting to call “home”. Great location, nearby to downtown Robbinsdale, shops, dining, trails, and parks.
