Minneapolis, MN55419

Perfectly positioned along Minnehaha Creek, this exceptional property offers a lifestyle few homes can match. Set on a rare .24 acre homesite in the heart of Lynnhurst, the property enjoys a breathtaking backyard setting with direct frontage on park board land and Minnehaha Creek, creating a level of privacy and natural beauty seldom found within the city. From your backyard, connect directly to miles of trails along the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway and the Minneapolis chain of lakes. Whether your passion is walking, running, cycling, kayaking, or simply enjoying nature, this location places it all at your doorstep. Inside, classic Cape Cod charm is complemented by thoughtful updates, including refinished hardwood floors, a brand new roof, and two new HVAC systems. The flexible floor plan features three bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, while the upper level serves as a secluded owner’s retreat with a walk in closet, private bath, second floor laundry, and picturesque views overlooking the creek. The walkout lower level provides additional space to relax and entertain with a cozy family room, fireplace, ¾ bath, second laundry area, and abundant storage. Throughout the home, large windows invite natural light and showcase the surrounding landscape, creating a peaceful connection to the outdoors year round. The setting is equally impressive. Enjoy quiet mornings on the screened porch, evenings surrounded by mature trees and wildlife, and easy access to neighborhood favorites including Lake Harriet, Broders’ Cucina Italiana, Settergren’s Hardware, and the Morgan Avenue tennis and pickleball courts. Opportunities to own along Minnehaha Creek are exceptionally limited. Combining an iconic Minneapolis location, direct access to nature, and an irreplaceable homesite, this is a property that will be treasured for generations.
