Offered for the first time after three generations of family ownership, this classic walkout rambler sits on a highly desirable street in Edina’s Melody Lake neighborhood, within walking distance of four neighborhood parks and close to downtown Edina’s shopping and dining.
The lot boasts privacy, a wooded backyard with mature trees, stone landscaping adorns the backyard patio and fire pit, and a three-season porch and deck overlooking it all. The home could be reimagined into a contemporary showcase, or the lot used as an excellent site for new construction, opening countless possibilities for the next chapter.
The home’s solid construction and classic design make this a sound investment or thoughtful renovation. One-level main floor with three bedrooms, a stone gas fireplace, and a two-car garage. The walkout lower level adds a family room, a fourth bedroom, and a 3/4 bath. Two fireplaces total, ample storage, and potential for main-level laundry. The property is zoned for Edina Public Schools, including Countryside Elementary, Valley View Middle, and Edina High.
Enjoy it as is, update over time, renovate, or build new.
