Welcome to 1679 Bayard Avenue, a truly charming Three Bedroom gem, nestled in a wonderful Highland Park location. Loved and pampered for almost 30 years by the same owners, this delightful home boasts lovely hardwood floors, sun-splashed spaces, and great amenities. The inviting front porch greets your arriving guests. Offering windows on three sides and a wood ceiling, this is the ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or to watch the seasons change. The handsome living room has hardwood floors and eye-catching ceiling trim. Sunshine from the large windows will bathe the room in natural light. The dining room is open to the living room, and features a double window and eye-catching overhead lighting. Many memorable meals will be shared here, from intimate candlelight dinners to festive holiday celebrations. The kitchen is mere steps away for your serving ease! The sun-filled kitchen is accented with abundant cabinetry, sensible workspace highlighted with tiled backsplashes, a classic farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. Additional shelving for storage can be found near the stairway to the lower level. Two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, bright windows and ample closets, are grouped on the main level with a ceramic tiled full bath. Travel to the upper level to find a private bedroom suite, with a walk-in closet and space for a reading nook or office. There is also under-eave storage. The living potential in the lower level is limited only by your imagination. Create a future family room, hobby room or workshop to suit the changing needs of your household. There is a laundry area with a utility tub, and more super storage! Outdoor living spaces include a peaceful, level backyard, screened by shrubs on one side and a privacy fence on the other. Set up your grill for summer barbecues, or play lawn games like croquet and touch football. Try out your green thumb! There is plenty of space for a flower or vegetable garden. Your car and garden tools will be protected from the elements in the oversized one car garage. Amenities include newer roof and vinyl siding! Great location is an understatement! Close to schools, parks and Highland Village with its shopping and dining opportunities. Plus an easy commute to either downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul or the International Airport.
