5104 Bloomington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55417

Just a short walk from Lake Nokomis and three blocks from Triangle Park, this one-and-a-half story home in the Hale neighborhood pairs the character of its 1949 build with thoughtful updates throughout. The dining room sits right at the entry, opening into a kitchen with granite counters, a matching breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances. The family room features beamed ceilings, a stone wood-burning fireplace, and a built-in window seat for reading or extra seating. There's a bedroom on every level: one on the main floor, a loft-style bedroom with a walk-in closet upstairs, and a lower-level bedroom with egress. The spa-style main-level bath is the standout, with a walk-in shower, corner soaking tub, dual sinks, and a sit-down makeup vanity. The lower level also holds a half bath off the laundry area and plenty of storage. The home also includes central air, forced-air heat, and a security system. Out back, the sliding door opens to a large pergola-covered deck that's an easy place to host, with a recess built in for a hot tub. The fully fenced yard has a mature shade tree, plus a detached two-car garage. Hale Elementary is a short walk away, and Minnehaha Creek is just minutes from your door.
