Built in 1954 as a contractor's own home, this classic mid-century rambler was constructed with the extra care and quality you'd expect when the builder is building for himself and it shows in the craftsmanship throughout. Rich oak cabinetry and oak trim run throughout the home, paired with gleaming hardwood floors and a warm, timeless palette. The spacious living room centers on a charming wood-burning fireplace with a built-in bookcase and mantel, framed by oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. The adjacent kitchen offers generous oak cabinet storage, updated stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a sunny eat-in dinette space with a window overlooking the wooded backyard. The third bedroom, just off the kitchen with French doors to the deck, offers flexible space that also makes an ideal home office, den, or reading room. All three comfortable bedrooms feature hardwood floors, great closet space, and ceiling fans throughout the home for year-round comfort. A main-floor full bath retains its vintage character and charm. Downstairs, the lower-level family room adds even more living space with a second brick wood-burning fireplace, plus a 3/4 nonconforming bath with walk-in shower, laundry, and workshop area, offering room to expand, relax, or create. Outside, enjoy a large, private, tree-lined lot with a raised deck, mature landscaping, and abundant shade, plus an attached two-car garage and a long driveway. The furnace, water heater and all insulation, including pipe insulation, has been updated in the past 2 1/2 years! Set on a quiet street in the heart of Hopkins, this home offers easy access to parks, shopping, dining, top schools, and quick routes to Minneapolis. A solidly built, well-loved home with mid-century charm and room to make it your own. Come see the contractor-quality difference for yourself.
