This is the kind of home that quietly surprises you in all the best ways. From the moment you step in the front door, you can feel the charm that bursts from the detailed and cheery artwork that glows from the main entry. This one has been thoughtfully cared for, beautifully updated, and designed for real life - the kind of life where people gather, windows stay open, take a walk down the block for a cup of Jo and the backyard becomes your favorite "room" in the house. Tucked into the tree-lined Minnehaha Parkview neighborhood, this stunning home offers 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, nearly 1,700 finished square feet of living space, and a 2-car detached garage - giving you space to spread out both inside and out.

The heart of the home's main floor is bright, open, and welcoming, creating a seamless flow between the living and kitchen spaces. Natural light pours in, especially through the EXPANSIVE kitchen window above the sink - the kind of detail you'll appreciate every single day. On the main level you'll find a full bathroom and two bedrooms, including the spacious primary bedroom. The natural light and thoughtful layout make this level feel airy, calm, and comfortable - a tranquil retreat at the end of the day. Upstairs you'll find the 3rd bedroom area which can also be used as primary retreat. Bring your creativity, this space could become a spectacular primary en suite by simply adding an upper level bathroom area. The opportunities are endless! The fully finished lower level space adds incredible flexibility with a sprawling family room that can become anything you need: movie nights, game space, workout area, playroom, or guest retreat. Plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, mature and timeless trees with generous green space make the yard feel private, peaceful, and connected to nature all at once.
