141 7th Ave N Hopkins, MN 55343

Welcome to 141 7th Avenue North: a rare opportunity to own one of The Avenues' most admired homes! Timeless character, countless thoughtful updates, and unmistakable Hopkins charm come together on one of the most picturesque blocks in the neighborhood. The updated two-story farmhouse marries historic roots with modern luxury. Upon arrival, you'll park on the recently replaced street (assessment paid in full by the seller) and follow the 2024 replaced concrete walkway to the inviting front door. Though the pristine landscaping draws you in, you can't help but notice the newer roof accentuated by copper gutters. Installed in 2024, the GAF impact-resistant shingles immediately inform you that the homeowners have lovingly cared for the property the right way. The charming front porch confirms the same sentiment; a 2024 front porch revitalization included TimberTech maintenance-free decking. It's evident someone's really cared for the home. Upon entry, you'll feel the warmth of the sun pouring through the Andersen windows. Southern exposure drenches the space in natural light, illuminating the sun room's gorgeous stripped and refinished original woodwork. Extensive renovations and pride of ownership are on full display, gracefully complimenting the home's meticulously preserved architectural details: beautiful stained-glass window, glass-paneled French door, original hardware, substantial baseboards, crown molding, ornate trim, and gleaming hardwood floors. The main floor offers a sizable living room with custom built-in cabinetry (2020), separate formal dining room with 2024 added built-ins, bedroom (that could readily be used as an office / flex space), ½ bath, and an absolutely stunning kitchen. Remodeled in 2021, the timeless kitchen boasts custom soft close cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. A reverse osmosis system was added to the kitchen in 2026 (kitchen sink & refrigerator water/ice). A 2003 addition separates the home from your average turn-of-the-century Hopkins farmhouse. The addition expanded the kitchen, added a 3-season porch, and created a massive upper-level primary bedroom complete with vaulted ceilings and generous dual closets. The upper level includes 3 bedrooms and a full bath with a custom frameless shower door and a custom dual-sink vanity. The basement, renovated in 2022, provides a terrific rec space / family room, ¾ bath, laundry room, and ample storage space. The 3-season side porch is a household fan favorite. Amazing EZ-Screen Porch Windows were added in 2024, substantially extending the enclosed porch's hosting + relaxing seasons. Phenomenal entertaining spaces inside and out. A handcrafted 2020-built cedar fence, complete with garden gates, frames the manicured backyard. The fence adds timeless aesthetic appeal, while creating an inviting outdoor retreat. The oversized two-stall garage was resided with Hardie Board in 2024 to match the house. The house's James Hardie siding was repainted in 2024. Award winning ISD 270! Situated on a quaint street just North of trendy Mainstreet, you're just a stone's throw from great local restaurants, entertainment, shoppes, breweries, ice cream shops, the grocery store, theatre, library, hardware store, numerous parks (including Burnes Park Splash Pad), and Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail. Hopkins is perennially ranked among the most walkable and bikeable cities in Minnesota - and for good reason! You're a short walk to everything. 141 7th Avenue North perfectly embodies its Downtown Hopkins location. Homes of this caliber rarely become available on The Avenues.
