115 36th Avenue NE Distinctive, beautifully maintained, and full of unexpected details: this 1957 Columbia Park home in Northeast Minneapolis has been thoughtfully transformed inside and out. The corner lot is home to a backyard oasis featured on the 2025 Minneapolis Garden Club tour. Follow a hand-laid red brick pathway salvaged from the historic Central Avenue trolley line, relax on the California redwood bench swing, or gather around the patio fire during cooler months. An underground Rain Bird irrigation system helps keep the lawn and gardens lush, while an invisible fence and nearby St. Anthony Parkway Off-Leash Dog Park make the setting especially welcoming for four-legged family members. Beyond its beauty, the home offers an impressive collection of substantial improvements. New roof (2024), new furnace and central air (2022). Additional updates within the past five years include high-end kitchen appliances, quartz countertops, washer and dryer, and furnace humidifier. Updated electrical service and a whole-home Generac generator provide added security during a power outage, while German-made, triple-pane Schuco windows deliver exceptional efficiency and durability. A substantial 2007 interior renovation created a remarkable primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, custom built-ins, dimmable lighting, and surround-sound audio. The spacious ensuite bathroom includes an 80-gallon soaking tub and an extra-large walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling tile and a rainfall showerhead. A 75-gallon water heater, installed in 2019, keeps the soaker tub as functional as it is luxurious. An additional half bathroom provides convenience for guests on the main level. Despite its many improvements, the home retains the warmth and character of its original era. Hardwood floors extend through the living room and bedrooms, while two-sided brick fireplaces-gas on the main level and wood-burning downstairs-create inviting gathering spaces. The kitchen banquette offers a charming place to enjoy a meal while overlooking the backyard or keeping the chef company. The two-bedroom designation only tells part of the story. The lower level offers a family room, recreation room, flexible bonus space, a third bathroom, laundry room, generous storage, and a workshop for the hobbyist. The flexible layout most certainly provides possibilities for a future bedroom. Located in a peaceful neighborhood shaped by art, nature, and a strong sense of community, this is more than a beautifully updated home-it is a property with a story.
