10130 Chicago Avenue S

For the first time in 65 years, this 1961 ranch-style home is on the market. Meticulously cared for by the original owners, it sits on an oversized quarter-acre lot. The finished areas have been freshly painted, and carpeting was removed on the main level to expose beautiful hardwood floors in the living room and bedrooms. The main floor includes a spacious living room with a large bay window, an eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a formal dining room right off the kitchen, which could also serve as an office or a fourth bedroom, since it has a closet and two doors. The lower level is dry, with ample storage throughout. It includes a newly carpeted recreation room or flex space, a third bedroom with a south-facing egress window, a half bath, a large workshop or storage room, and a laundry and utility room with additional storage. Outside, the detached two-car garage has a large, south-facing porch with windows on three sides that could be converted into a three- or four-season porch. A small barn-style shed has plenty of room for lawn and garden equipment. This charming home is in a quiet neighborhood, just two blocks from a trailhead into Mound Springs Park, known for its wooded hiking trails, birdwatching, and access to the Minnesota River Valley trails. Vacant and available for a quick close, this home has solid bones and plenty of potential. Build equity quickly with kitchen and bath updates, or fully renovate and create a space that's uniquely yours. It's just waiting for the right buyer to call it home.
