Built in 1941, this residence blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Offering over 3,100 finished square feet, the home features three exceptionally spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, and multiple flexible spaces ideal for today’s work-from-home lifestyle.
The front of the home showcases classic details including original wide plank floors, oiled pine woodwork, built-in corner cabinets in the dining room, and a large wood-burning fireplace anchoring the inviting living room. The kitchen and family room flow seamlessly together, creating a generous gathering space perfect for casual evenings or larger holiday celebrations.

One of the standout features of the home is the abundance of flexible living space.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. The impressive primary suite features vaulted ceilings, three closets, and a private bath with both a separate tub and shower. The additional bedrooms are unusually large, each offering walk-in closets and ample room for sitting areas, study spaces, or additional work-from-home setups while sharing a full bathroom.
The lower level includes a versatile den or playroom that could easily become a fourth bedroom with the addition of an egress window. This level also offers excellent potential for a second office, workout room, or guest suite, along with a partially finished bathroom space ready for future expansion.
Mechanically, the home has been well maintained with updates including a newer furnace, a 2021 roof replacement, and new gutters. Located in a highly desirable Edina neighborhood surrounded by exceptional homes, the property offers convenient access to parks, Minnehaha Creek, and nearby amenities.
A truly special home with incredible space and flexibility—don’t miss your opportunity to make it yours.
