There are residential homes, and then there are full-blown DIY botanical gardens tucked quietly into the city. 4418 6th Street NE is the latter. Originally built in 1914, this classic Columbia Heights two-story has been lovingly maintained and smartly updated by its current owners?and if you happen to have a green thumb and a deep, undying love for a great patio, you've just found your new home. In the front, two North Star cherry trees welcome you to the charming three-season porch, where you can while away the last days of MN autumn with a good mug of hot chocolate and your favorite novel. The main-level floorplan, tinged with vintage 1900s touches like leaded glass and a built-in buffet, offers two especially noteworthy features that are extremely hard to find in this era of home: first, a huge kitchen with a wraparound countertop, overhung seating, and a wonderful storage extension; second, a main-level powder room, so guests don't have to take stairs to the nearest restroom. A living room, sitting room, and dedicated dining space give this level uncommon versatility you won't find anywhere else. Upstairs, two large bedrooms are complemented by an extra office, perfect for remote workers or weekend warriors. A full upstairs bathroom is brightened by subway + penny tiles and a white clawfoot tub. The basement, currently unfinished, has the ceiling height necessary for a partial finish or could be left as-is for copious storage and laundry. Outside, you'll never have to maintain a lawn: A sprawling paver patio is enveloped by plant life including Serviceberry trees, a Korean maple, native perennials, mature roses, tulips, daffodils, allium bulbs, and iris varietals, all enclosed with a brand-new privacy fence. Adjacent to the detached 1-car garage, you'll find a new retaining wall and an extra parking pad for 3 vehicles. With convenient access to University & Central Avenues and at a price point that won't break the bank, 4418 6th Street NE is an autumnal Minnesota miracle.
