5000 17th Avenue S The location is everything, this charming New England Cape Cod style home is just 2.5 blocks to Lake Nokomis & just 1 block to Minnehaha Creek. The remarkable floor plan that works equally well for entertaining and intimate family gatherings. You will love the spacious eat-in kitchen w/cherry cabinets, huge center island and dining nook. All new appliances too. The main floor family room is a gem w/built-in bookshelves, a gas fireplace & best of all it keeps the television out of the living room. There is a large trellis covered patio in back for summer entertaining & an east-facing screened porch for sunrises. The lower level has an amusement room for games (the pool/ping pong table is optional) and room to finish another bedroom and bath. The furnace and roof has been replaced too. The 2 car garage is just 10 years old. Did I mention the location..... tennis & pickle ball courts are 1/2 block away, the sledding hill is a block away. Lake Nokomis is host to triathlons, rowing events, the Polar Plunge, sauna rentals, kayak, paddle boat and paddle board rentals. Lake Nokomis is on the Twin cities Marathon route too.
