For Sale - 5837 Irving Avenue South, Minneapolis
Tucked away on a quiet Kenny block, walkable to parks, schools, Grass Lake and more, sits this custom renovated home with a one-of-a-kind floorplan. Same owners for 35 years, true pride of ownership radiates from top to bottom!
The exterior of the home, which underwent a second story renovation, features a maintenance-free exterior, full wood privacy fence and mature landscaping - all situated on a 57’ wide lot.
Step inside where character meets function - marrying original details with modern amenities in one seamless floorplan.
During the extensive renovation of the home, doorways were widened and rooms were connected to create a more open floorplan. The formal dining room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace for added ambiance. Refinished wood floors flow throughout the main level.
The main level living room is over-sized with vaulted ceilings and windows galore! Paneling was replaced with drywall for a more modern aesthetic. Skylight overhead, a spacious bay window, all accentuated with modern lighting and built-in speakers.
The original brick fireplace exterior adds texture and warmth to the space. A built-in media center keeps unsightly components tucked away. The back entry corridor features a private 1/2 bath and an abundance of custom storage.
The kitchen underwent extensive renovation including the addition of custom cabinetry. The original character is replicated - designed to blend seamlessly with the original. A custom island tucks into the bay window adding both functionality and a destination for morning coffee.
Two main level bedrooms offer opportunity for dedicated offices, a guest suite or accommodating those who prefer main level living.
The bedrooms are accompanied by a full bath - separate of the half bath that can be exclusive to guests!
Upstairs, the owners added a complete second story, designing an enviable primary suite you’ll love turning into.
The upper level loft features a perimeter of windows, open railing and custom built-in’s with window seat.
The primary bedroom is a true retreat overlooking the private, landscaped backyard, with double doors that add grandeur to the space.
The same updated windows are repeated throughout - bathing the room in natural light. Complete with ambient recessed lighting and a custom walk-in closet that rivals the best of them!
Natural woodwork and paneled doors are repeated from top to bottom.
Not your average primary bath - this generous upper level bath features a spacious walk-in shower, double vanity, built in storage and tiled floors - completely updated in 2023!
The second upper level bedroom makes for a total of 4 with plenty of room to spread out.
The finished and cozy lower level can be accessed by one of two different stairways. The first drops you directly into the dedicated theater room. Anchored by a gas fireplace and wrapped in a perimeter of custom built-in’s - this space is the optimal setting for at-home movie night!
The adjacent flex space could become your lower level bar - ideal for serving up snacks or mixing your favorite drinks. Alternatively, use it as a dedicated gym, craft or toy room.
At the other end of the lower level (and at the bottom of stairway #2) is a sizeable game room. Plenty of space to add a pool table or host card club - but offering flexibility for whatever your family needs.
An additional half bath adds functionality. Should you ever choose to add a bedroom in the lower level, there’s space to add a shower and/or tub without disrupting the floorplan!
The backyard is incredibly charming with its meandering bluestone path, potting shed and full wood privacy fence.
Just completed, the backyard deck was replaced in its entirety - maintenance-free decking and railings installed to the tune of $40,000+ (!!!)
