About this House

This Highland Park home feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. Thoughtful updates provide a wonderful balance of classic charm and comfortable, modern living. The main level is designed for gathering, with a traditional living room, formal dining room, and an especially inviting family room featuring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and French doors that lead to the patio and private backyard. The kitchen is both stylish and practical, with plenty of cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a classic full bath. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility--great space for a recreation room, office, or exercise space. The large egress window lets in lots of light making this basement space exceptionally inviting and useful. A finished laundry room, generous storage space, and a work bench round out the lower level. The walk up attic offers great storage space, too. Updates include Marvin windows, Hardie siding, and a recently replaced roof. All of this in one of Highland Park’s most desirable settings, near parks, schools, neighborhood shops and restaurants, and with easy access to both downtowns. A home with character, comfort, and room to live well. Welcome home!

    "Public transportation is within a block or two of everyone’s house. I don’t use it often, so I don’t really know how much time is involved. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the furthest place you could go in Minneapolis/St. Paul from here by car. Suburbs, maybe 45. Most things you need for errand are within 15 minutes."

    "Pros: Beautiful neighborhood. Upper end housing stock. Multiple parks in the area. Golf course, disc golf, fishing nearby, walking paths, great area for pets, safe and secure. Cons: Very few quality restaurants, bars, or shopping. No retail within 8 blocks. Highland Park is a great neighborhood. It could be the next 50th and France but the vision for upscale shopping and dining just isn't there yet. "
