About this home
Step into a masterfully renovated 1955 rambler that perfectly captures the soul of mid-century design while offering the crisp, modern updates today’s lifestyle demands. From the moment you enter, the home makes a statement with a striking floating staircase that leads you into an open, light-filled main level. The heart of the home is a sprawling kitchen designed for both quiet mornings and grand entertaining, featuring an oversized center island and abundant storage. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen are both formal and informal dining areas, anchored by beautifully restored cherry hardwood floors. In the living room, massive windows invite the outdoors in, framed by custom cherry wood valances that nod to the home’s architectural heritage. This level hosts four bedrooms, providing a thoughtful layout that keeps everyone close. Recent high-end improvements ensure peace of mind, including a new roof, gutters, and skylights, along with fresh carpet and refinished hardwoods throughout. The lower level is a true standout, offering a massive office space warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for those who work from home. You’ll also find a spacious media area wired for surround sound, complete with a unique "stage" ledge, a cedar closet, and a 3/4 bath featuring timeless vintage subway tile. For the hobbyist or history buff, the original 1955 heavy-duty shelter offers an incredible opportunity for a workshop, wine cellar, or specialized flex room. Practicality meets luxury in the oversized two-car garage, which comes equipped with a floor drain and running water—a rare and highly functional feature. With a new water heater, new carpet and fresh kitchen flooring recently installed, this Edina gem is move-in ready and brimming with character. Experience a home that feels both nostalgic and brand new.

About Lake
Cornelia
Lake Cornelia, located between France Avenue S and Highway 62, is a residential and lakeside Edina neighborhood with a looped shoreline trail and pockets of mid-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Lake Cornelia Park trailhead, where walkers, runners, and dog-leash strolls set a steady, outdoors-first rhythm. Housing leans toward ramblers and split-levels on curving streets, with water views and mature trees shaping the streetscape. A short drive away, the Edina Art Center adds a studio-and-gallery counterpoint to the parkland feel. Nearby, 50th & France brings independent staples like Patisserie 46 and the Edina Theatre into the orbit. The result is a calm, green setting with a polished, city-adjacent edge.
