Beautiful light, thoughtful design, and exceptional craftsmanship define this fully updated Cape Cod in the heart of Minikahda Vista. An architect-led remodel opened the main-floor layout, added a side entrance to a charming patio, and created an impressive kitchen with abundant cabinetry, detailed lighting, and a striking Bertazzoni range. Main-level highlights also include dining room built-ins, a new gas fireplace, a custom display nook in the living room, an expansive deck overlooking the backyard, and a new front door. Upstairs you'll find two inviting bedrooms and a remodeled full bath with classic tile. The lower level offers a spacious family room, an updated three-quarter bath, flexible studio-style space, and a layout that works well for guests. A newer two-car garage, quality windows throughout, and extensive updates inside and out underscore the home's turnkey appeal. Whether it's morning coffee on the kitchen patio, a quick walk to Fresh Thyme, or dinner with friends on the back deck, this home delivers comfort, convenience, and style in equal measure--all in one of the most walkable, amenity-rich locations in the Twin Cities.
