Situated on a double corner lot, walking distance from downtown Hopkins, on "The Avenues," is this charming bungalow just waiting for a new owner to love it well! It offers 2 bedrooms, 1 1/4 bathrooms, cozy gathering spaces (both indoors and out), with well cared for native gardens and lilacs, a private outdoor patio, a secret oasis with convenient access throughout the metro! You'll be walking distance from Hilltop Park, with a playground and sledding hill / ice skating rink in winter.  It's an easy walk/bike ride to downtown Hopkins, or the LRT, which connects to other stations and lines across the metro if you need to commute elsewhere or escape suburbia for a while.  Walk to Lunds for dinners to go on the paver patio out back or in your spacious dining room.    The breezeway connecting the garage to the home is a perfect mudroom / drop zone for winter gear, shoes, backpacks and sports gear, or could be a perfect reading and rocking area. This home has multiple rooms that could function in various ways, based on your creative eye - ready for new owner to fall in love! Note - floors and stairs leading up are a little rough looking. Seller removed worn carpet but intentionally did not replace in order to show the original REAL hardwood floors upstairs, which a new owner may want to preserve. Basement bathroom currently offers privacy and a toilet - it would be very easy to add a sink to make it a proper powder room, but it is currently a 1/4 bath.
