This beautifully refurbished duplex is available for rent for the first time in five years. It has three bedrooms and one bathroom, and is located in the high-demand Armatage neighborhood of Southwest Minneapolis. It is just steps from the Armatage Park and tennis courts; it is also two blocks away from Minnehaha Creek and popular restaurants such as The Book Club, Colita, Red Wagon, Saturday Dumpling Company, and Broders, and it is eight blocks from Lake Harriet. The kitchen was fully renovated with a contemporary vibe and stainless steel appliances including a five-burner gas range, dishwasher and built-in microwave. The kitchen sink is extra deep with a pull-out handle spray faucet. There are stunning quartz countertops and a center island highlighted by beautiful pendant lights. The kitchen island comfortably seats four, and creates an open floor plan between the kitchen and living room - perfect for entertaining! The bathroom is also renovated, with modern fixtures, subway tiling, and radiant heated floors perfect for those cold Minnesota winters!! There are two bedrooms on the main floor and a third in the basement. The basement has additional living space with custom, built-in cabinets and an accent wall ideal for your large screen TV or to use as gaming space, as well as a built-in bar area that includes a beverage fridge. There is refreshed flooring throughout the unit including hardwood floors in the main living area and luxury plush carpeting in bedrooms and basement living area.

Additionally, there is a shared paved patio in the back yard with enough room to grill out. There is a private one-car garage with an automatic door opener. A high-efficiency central air conditioning system with a programmable thermostat was installed in 2020 and the roof was replaced in 2023, which both contribute to greener living and lower utilities. There are newer windows, doors and blinds throughout the unit. The property is owned and managed by a family that lives just a few blocks away, and who are committed to being responsive and caring landlords. * Note that some of the pictures depict the adjacent unit, which is virtually identical.
