You cannot beat the location of this Hiawatha charmer - right in the heart of all that South Minneapolis has to offer! The seller is willing to contribute to a rate buy down that can save the new owner over $500 a month the first year. To add to the buyer's peace of mind, the seller is offering a one-year top tier HSA home warranty! Steps from the river and the million dollar homes on West River Road, you'll enjoy immediate access to the Winchell trail system and be surrounded by wildlife including eagles, turkeys and barred owls. A brief walk to Minnehaha Park and Falls, Wabun Picnic Area, Sea Salt Restaurant, Hiawatha Golf Course and the shores of Lake Nokomis.
