Perched high along lovely Girard Avenue in Kenny you'll discover this amazing gem encircled by glorious and extensive perennial gardens, landscaping, trees, outdoor lights, pergolas and patios! Designed by the current owner who is a master gardener, it is an oversized site to rival all sites in the neighborhood and an environment its new owner will cherish. The 3-plus bedroom house offers tremendous versatility to serve well a multitude of lifestyles. Ascend to the front door and feel welcomed by a substantial entry porch/sun room which will lead you to the delightful living room with its beautiful wood floor and especially handsome gas fireplace with slate face and hearth. Beyond a pretty arch is a gracious formal dining room with a pass-through to the kitchen. The large, updated kitchen offers generous cupboards and Corian surfaces, subway tile, maple cupboards (some with glass doors), pull-out drawers, built-in bookcase, above and under cabinet lighting, recessed ceiling lights, stainless appliances. A cook's dream! Also on the main level is the primary bedroom with closet systems and the first of 3 bathrooms, each with a shower. A remarkable family room with a built-in entertainment center and great windows is a focal point; it will guide you to the fabulous 3-season, pine paneled porch with wonderful windows on 3 sides - your cabin in the city! The upper level presents gorgeous stained glass light fixtures above the stairs, the second significant bedroom with 2 closets alongside a full bathroom featuring delightful Mexican tile, a den/study/office, and an appealing, unusual room that with shelves would make an awesome library. The lower level presents the very spacious third bedroom with its private three-quarter bathroom and adjacent sauna! Workshop/utility and laundry rooms on this level. In back you'll find the one-plus car garage (with a large parking area) next to which is a convenient staging area for all your gardening preparations. Easy-to-maintain stucco exterior, new roof on the house in 2019, newer Andersen windows all around and many glass block windows, zoned heating, AC mini splits, central vacuum, underground sprinklers. Near terrific schools! This sunny property is truly a delight and maintained/updated to perfection! It could be your Southwest Minneapolis Home for the Holidays!
