Charming beach-cottage--inspired home in the heart of central Sioux Falls. This beautifully maintained 5-bed, 3-bath home offers approx. 1,850 sq ft of inviting living space on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from two neighborhood parks - Spellerberg & Sherman, within walking distance of Sanford Hospital to the east, Grill 26 to the south and the Zoo to the west! Inside, sunlight fills the cheerful kitchen, cozy living and dining spaces, and the upper-level bedrooms with their signature slanted ceilings that feel like a warm hug. Hardwood floors, built-ins, and thoughtful updates throughout create a home that feels both timeless and lovingly cared for. The main level features bright gathering spaces, a renovated full bath, and easy access to the fenced backyard--your own edible garden oasis with strawberries, raspberries, basil, mint, chives, asparagus, eggplant, two mulberry trees, an apricot tree, cherry tree, and hazelnuts. Enjoy morning coffee, tea or soda on the deck, summer fireflies in the evenings, and peaceful privacy year-round. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms showcase fresh paint and the new hardwood floors while maintaining the nostalgic character of the home's original architecture. The basement offers a serene family room with custom bookshelves, a fireplace, a 3/4 bath, and a flexible bedroom or hobby space perfect for quiet creativity. The list of renovations and updates abound. New wood/metal window frames, popcorn ceiling removal and full repaint, new hardwood floors upstairs, updated upper half-bath, basement bookshelves and fireplace installation, main-floor bath renovation and new basement 3/4 bath, tankless/on demand gas water heater, new furnace/AC in 2018, sump pump and drain tile, insulation upgrades, and a new roof tops the list. With its storybook curb appeal, on a quiet, shaded street, peaceful backyard, and a long list of meaningful updates, this home offers comfort, character, and a lifestyle that's hard to leave behind.
