Property Description

Welcome to a home that blends thoughtful updates, functional space, and everyday livability in a well-established Bloomington neighborhood known for its convenience and access to everything the Twin Cities has to offer. From the moment you step inside, you will notice the natural light and the hardwood floors that define the main level. A large front window fills the living space with light, while the layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen has been extensively updated, with improvements completed in 2020, including refreshed cabinetry, a new backsplash, and interior finishes, along with quartz countertops and newer appliances, creating a clean, modern, and highly functional space. Sliding access leads directly to the deck, making it easy to extend your living space outdoors. Nearly every surface of the home has been improved over time, giving buyers confidence in both condition and usability. Major interior updates in 2020 included repainting throughout much of the home, refinishing key living spaces, and updating trim and finishes. Additional improvements include laminate flooring installed in 2018, updated windows in the main living areas in 2019, and continued maintenance and updates through 2025 and 2026, including a new dishwasher, microwave, and dryer. Updated lighting, outlets, and switches further enhance the home’s everyday functionality. The lower level continues the theme of flexibility, offering a large open family room space ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or creating a dedicated recreation area. An additional bedroom provides the perfect setup for a home office, workout room, or guest space, along with ample storage in the laundry area. Both bathrooms have seen meaningful updates, with recent improvements including updated plumbing, fixtures, and finishes. The lower-level bathroom was refreshed in 2025 with new flooring, toilet, shower, and plumbing updates, adding to the home’s move-in ready appeal. Outside, the property continues to deliver. The home sits on a spacious lot with a fully fenced backyard, offering privacy and room to enjoy. Whether it is hosting, relaxing, or letting pets play, the yard provides a great balance of usable space and easy maintenance. The heated and insulated 2.5 stall garage, updated and insulated in recent years, is a standout feature offering flexibility for a workshop, gym, or additional storage. Location is another major advantage of this home. With quick access to both Highway 35W and 494, commuting to downtown Minneapolis, the airport, or surrounding suburbs is simple and efficient. The surrounding area offers a wide range of parks, recreation, shopping, and entertainment options.
