4700 Colfax Avenue S

This stunning 2 and a half story home in the highly sought-after Lynnhurst neighborhood of South Minneapolis combines timeless charm with modern functionality, making it perfect for today's family. The completely remodeled kitchen features a bright, airy design with a center island seating four, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, and ample windows while the versatile mudroom off the kitchen doubles as an office. There is a convenient half bath on the main floor. This home's early 20th-century charm shines through in details like built-in bookcases framing a gas fireplace, leaded-glass piano windows, and a dining room with a coffered ceiling and large built-in hutch. Original hardwood floors have been refinished throughout the main and second levels. The second level has three bedrooms, an updated full bathroom, and a sleeping porch. The unfinished third floor offers exciting potential for expansion, while the finished lower level boasts a family room, a stylish three-quarter bath and ample storage. The corner lot is fully fenced, with a large deck overlooking a serene backyard, enhanced by perennials, updated landscaping and buried utilities. Located just four blocks from Lake Harriet and near excellent shopping, dining and coffee spots, this home also features a large newer two-car garage with no alley for easy access and pull-down stairs for additional storage. The house has central air and most of the windows have been replaced with Renewal by Andersen windows. Combining charm, thoughtful updates and a prime location, this home is an exceptional find.
