Situated in one of Minneapolisâ most walkable neighborhoods, just steps from Lyndale Avenue restaurants, coffee shops, shopping and nightlife, with convenient access to downtown, Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska and public transit.
This classic 1918 duplex offers approximately 2,211 square feet, hardwood floors and the charm of original Minneapolis architecture. An excellent opportunity for investors or owner occupants.
