About the Listing 6582 - 506015402,506014444

Welcome to 5212 45th Avenue South, where thoughtful updates, timeless finishes, and approximately $25,000 in recent improvements create a home that's both move-in ready and full of character. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring timeless organic materials, including freshly refinished butcher block countertops, rich natural slate tile flooring, and classic white shaker-style cabinetry with soft-close drawers. A gas stove with an exterior-venting range hood, dishwasher, and large north- and west-facing windows make this a bright, functional space that's equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the home, professionally refinished hardwood floors (2026) showcase the light blond wood on the main level while brightening the original Douglas fir floors upstairs. Fresh interior and exterior paint, custom flush-mount wood floor registers, updated dual-pane windows, newer LED lighting, and tasteful finishes create a home that feels fresh while honoring its original character. The flexible upper level offers multiple storage areas and room for a home office, reading nook, creative studio, or a private primary bedroom retreat. Unlike many unfinished basements, the lower level is remarkably clean, bright, and inviting. Fresh paint, newer LED lighting, and a decorative chip floor coating (2026) create a comfortable extension of the home's living space, currently staged as a cozy family room. With an impressive 7-foot, 3-inch ceiling height for a home of this era and 100-amp electrical service, it also presents an outstanding opportunity for future finishing and added equity. A radon monitor with both short- and long-term readings below 1.0 pCi/L provides additional peace of mind. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers a wonderful balance of sunshine and shade beneath mature trees. The home's position toward the very front of the lot on a gentle rise provides privacy and excellent drainage while allowing for a private backyard that is larger than many neighboring properties. Enjoy the spacious paver patio with sunshade, established raspberry bushes, raised garden beds, and thoughtfully selected native plants and colorful perennials that create an inviting outdoor retreat. Additional improvements include professionally painted exterior surfaces, a freshly painted and re-roofed garage (2026) with electricity and an automatic garage door opener, professional tree trimming (2026), updated low-maintenance vinyl siding, and generous off-street parking. Located just minutes from Minnehaha Creek, Minnehaha Regional Park, Morris Park, and the Minnehaha Off-Leash Dog Park, this home also offers convenient access to Highways 55 and 62, with the METRO Blue Line just two blocks away for an easy commute to downtown Minneapolis or MSP Airport. Seller is offering a $750 credit toward the buyer's choice of home warranty.
