Welcome to a truly rare opportunity in Golden Valley. Nestled on more than 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional property offers the feeling of a private northwoods retreat right in the heart of the metro. A long driveway leads you to this meticulously maintained story-and-a-half home, where pride of ownership is evident throughout. Long-time owners have thoughtfully updated and improved the property over the years, highlighted by a professionally remodeled kitchen and stunning primary suite. The spacious main level features generous room sizes, large bedrooms, and an abundance of natural light streaming through the expansive bay window in the living room. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace or enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with a large deck overlooking the picturesque setting. The upper-level owner's retreat offers a private sanctuary complete with a sitting area ideal for relaxing, or used as a home office or reading nook, a spacious bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, and exceptional storage. The lower level provides additional versatility with a cozy family room, guest space, workshop, and storage area. Major improvements include replacement windows, updated mechanicals, furnace, and air conditioning. A breezeway connecting the home and garage creates the perfect mudroom space, adding convenience to everyday living. Set on one of Golden Valley's most unique lots, this is a rare chance to enjoy privacy, nature, and abundant space without sacrificing proximity to everything the Twin Cities has to offer.
Robbinsdale-Crystal-New Hope, located between Highway 100 and I-94, is a residential and commercial Golden Valley neighborhood with mid-century ramblers and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Broadway Avenue corridor near downtown Robbinsdale, where sidewalk cafes, old-school storefronts, and local bars set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Architectural lines lean toward postwar one-level homes, with occasional brick duplexes and tidy apartment courts. Crystal Lake Regional Park adds water views and looping paths that shape daily routines. Wicked Wort Brewing Company, Travail Kitchen and Amusements, and the Robbinsdale Theater anchor the local culture with a distinctly independent streak. Streets feel green and practical, with small retail clusters stitched between larger arterials.
