5117 Colfax Avenue S

About

A coveted block of magnificent classic homes so close to our meandering Minnehaha Creek and vibrant Lake Harriet! Current owner has loved and cared for 5117 for many years…thoughtfully updating while maintaining the integrity of the era. You’ll appreciate its inviting call from the curb, this grand 2 story with towering pine and lush landscape. From front vestibule to an open eye-catching main floor offering front and rear four-season rooms, large living room with gas fireplace and formal dining. The woodwork is impeccable and breathtaking, truly! Box beamed ceilings, full wall buffet, library style wainscoting and pillared cabinets. Wavy window glass panes are period.
Gracious kitchen is flooded with natural sunlight and has hosted many family and friends throughout the years. Upper level boasts a newer 3/4 ceramic bath with laundry facilities and a 2nd full ceramic bath. 3 bedrooms and a full 3-season sunroom on upper level. Gorgeous hardwood floors throughout home. Lower level boasts loads of storage and a large 4th bedroom and newer 3/4 ceramic bath. 4th bedroom can be a flex space, as well! Fully fenced cozy and private yard, mature perennial gardens, patios for entertaining, and a large 2 car detached garage. Very quiet street. Alley is a bonus and is often plowed first. Easy access to 35W and Hwy 62. Grocery, library, shops, restaurants, and drug store are so close! A gem of a home awaits!
