Minneapolis' favorite homebuilder, ICON Homes, has done it again! This two story home has a lowered roofline and multiple dormers to give it the feel of an expanded bungalow, fitting into the styles of the many century-old homes nearby. Don't let the charming character fool you, though. This home has the most efficient and robust modern systems incorporated into it's construction. Featuring an ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) foundation, the R value of this basement is actually even better than the code requirement for the above ground space of the home! Add to that the ultra-strong engineered floor trusses, upgraded insulation, and high efficiency air-to-air exchanger system, and you start to understand the quality and efficiency that ICON is known for.
Inside, the upper level bedrooms feature sloped ceilings and nooks that maintain that Minneapolis charm of the historical homes, but with the modern conveniences of an upper level laundry room, a great primary bath ensuite, and even a central loft area. The main level is a great open flow design with a home office and a mudroom, and the lower level is a MASSIVE space for entertaining, relaxing, and whatever you can dream of. There's even a 4th bedroom and bathroom for your guests!
And this location is TOP NOTCH! Walk just a few blocks to Minnehaha Falls, the Mississippi River, and even the 46th Street station of the light rail. Enjoy a meal or a craft beverage at the Sea Salt Eatery, or the epic pizza creations of Parkway Pizza. This super walkable location gives you access to everything that Southeast Minneapolis is known for! Bike along the river, cross the bridge to the Ford Parkway of St Paul and even expand your recreational trips for hundreds of miles up and down the Mississippi River trails and connect to the Grand Rounds system of trails.
No matter what you are looking for in your new home location, this home is close to ALL of it!
