Welcome to 1608 23rd Ave NE- a 1900s cottage in the city that blends original character and curated design throughout. This home is a retreat for bakers, gardeners, or anyone else who enjoys the cottage vibe while still being close to all Northeast Minneapolis has to offer. The kitchen is where you'll want to spend your mornings. There's counter space to actually cook, storage that looks as good as it functions, and a vintage cast iron sink + a modern dishwasher. It's the kind of kitchen that makes you want to bake bread on a Sunday and host dinner the same night. The main floor invites you to move through it. Original hardwood floors and rich woodwork connect the rooms naturally, and when the weather turns, opening the front porch and back mudroom doors practically doubles your living space. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a quiet retreat with a park view and two closets. The second bedroom catches great light all day, perfect for a guest room, office, or nursery. At the end of the hall, a clawfoot tub waits. Out back, summer evenings write themselves: drinks on the deck, dinner from the garden beds, a fire as the night cools down. All of this is packed into this sweet cottage, and it's right here in Northeast Minneapolis!
