5626 Clinton Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55419

Property Description

Welcome to 5626 Clinton Avenue South, conveniently located in the Diamond Lake Neighborhood of Minneapolis. The Diamond Lake Neighborhood is one of 83 Neighborhoods that help make up the city of Minneapolis and prides itself on a very strong neighborhood association with highly rated schools and accessibility to local attractions. Fun Historical fact - the city of Minneapolis Charter and Code of Ordinances was actually signed just down the street in the backyard of 5610 Clinton Avenue. This amazing Craftsman home has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 30 years and the pride of ownership shines throughout. Upon entering the home you will be immediately embraced by the natural light streaming through the wall-to-wall windows surrounding you. The entry is a fabulous sunroom with original oak floors and built-in shelving; the perfect spot to enjoy the morning sunrise over Diamond Lake. For a very traditional home it has a very non-traditional open floor plan; this creates a very easy flow from room to room. With 9 foot ceilings, original casements, oak flooring and oversized windows this home is a true show stopper. The main level features a sunroom, living area, formal dining, flex space for office or den, eat-in kitchen, wood burning fireplace, walk-in pantry or storage and a full bath with original cast iron tub. The upper level boasts 3 spacious bedrooms with a huge amount of storage. The spacious primary expands across the full front of the home with windows on three sides. The second bedroom features a large walk-in closet. The third bedroom has a wall of closets and a sliding door out to your private rooftop deck. The lower level is partially finished and could easily be taken to the next level for additional living space. The exterior will be a welcoming surprise this spring and summer as the current owner is a landscape architect and has created unique spaces throughout the yard. There is a two-car garage with attached carport, so parking for three vehicles or space for recreational toys. The shared driveway has an "infinite" easement for both neighbors to share it. Current residents share the cost of a snow removal service in the winter months. This home is a great opportunity in a wonderful neighborhood with much higher priced homes. Enjoy the convenience of walking to lakes, parks, restaurants, shops and schools.
