Captivating Cape Cod style home on a beautiful block of Girard Ave. S. in Lowry Hill. This gracious home was thoughtfully rebuilt and expanded in 1998. It features bright and open spaces, gorgeous built-ins, and great attention to detail. The home has been lovingly maintained, prepared for sale, and is move-in ready. The main level offers pristine, recently refinished hardwood floors, a gourmet, eat-in kitchen with high-end stainless appliances (including a brand new refrigerator), a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace and french doors opening to the inviting terrace overlooking the back yard, a large dining room perfect for entertaining, a cozy den with built-in bookshelves, a butler's pantry, a half bath, and a screen porch. The expansive terraces front and back complete the main level. The second floor features a vaulted primary suite with a full marble bath (redone in 2009), a sizable walk-in closet, and a covered balcony overlooking the back yard. Two nice-sized bedrooms and full hall bath (also redone in 2009) complete the second level. The carpeting in the bedrooms and second level hallways is brand new. The lower level has a stunning media/amusement room, a 3/4 bath, a wine room, and a spacious laundry area that can accommodate a variety of uses, including a work-out area, an office, and a hobby area. The home is situated on a prized wide lot that is beautifully landscaped. The back yard has a newer wood privacy fence. The home's cedar shake roof was replaced in 2024. Highly walkable to Lake of the Isles, Kenwood Park, the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden, and area shopping, dining, and transportation. Easy access to downtown Minneapolis. This property is truly turn-key. Make this your new home for the holidays.
