You’ll find 2 bedrooms on the main level and a private upper-level primary suite complete with its own generously-sized full bath, including a separate tub and shower. The breezeway has windows on three sides that brings in light at all times of the day. Relax in the evening on your quiet backyard patio overlooking a large yard flush with greenery.

Hobby Acres, located between Excelsior Blvd and Highway 7, is a residential and light-industrial Hopkins neighborhood with modest mid-century homes and pockets of small-shop frontage. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Excelsior Blvd near Blake Rd, where auto-service bays, maker-style workspaces, and no-nonsense eateries set a practical, local rhythm. Housing leans toward ramblers and split-levels with wide driveways and mature trees, while nearby corridors carry steady commuter traffic. Cedar Lake Regional Trail adds a linear green edge for walking and biking. Hopkins’ Mainstreet and its independent storefronts sit a short drive away for coffee, books, and evening plans.
