1744 Phalen Place : Welcome to 1744 Phalen Place, a move-in ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath two-story directly across from Lake Phalen. This is the kind of location that sells itself. Wake up to lake views, walk the trails, hit the beach, and enjoy everything the Phalen Regional Park area offers right outside your door. Inside, original hardwood floors flow through the main level, complemented by fresh vinyl plank in the updated kitchen and mudroom. The finished basement adds serious living space, featuring a built-in bar, custom shelving and cabinets around the mounted TV, and a clever craft nook under the stairs. Outside, choose your view from the deck, the sun porch, or the new turf patio. The hill and mature trees in the backyard, along with the retaining walls out front, give the property a quiet sense of privacy you don't typically find this close to the city. Major updates are done: new roof, siding, and water heater all within the last 3 years. Add in the attached 2-car garage and this home checks every box for first-time buyers or young families.
