4153 Aldrich Avenue S

Nestled in one of Southwest Minneapolis’s most desirable neighborhoods, just moments from the scenic beauty of Lake Harriet, this remarkable home seamlessly blends historic Craftsman charm with modern updates. From the informal dining room and mud room addition to the remodeled chef's kitchen, every detail has been thoughtfully designed for both style and function.
The exterior features a classic stucco façade, freshly painted wood trim, and a serene backyard complete with a wood privacy fence, spacious patio, and a lush perennial garden. A newer 2-car garage completes the picture.
Step up to the welcoming front porch, perfect for relaxing on warm summer evenings. Inside, the sunroom bathes in natural light, courtesy of new windows installed during the kitchen remodel. Just beyond, the spacious living room is a showstopper with its stunning hardwood floors, original stained-glass windows, a charming brick wood-burning fireplace, crown molding, and built-in bookcases that beautifully define the transition to the formal dining room.
The dining room overlooks the front porch and street below, and its built-in buffet, with a mirrored back and stained-glass accents, provides ample storage and timeless elegance. Off the dining room, the chef's kitchen is a masterpiece, boasting floor-to-ceiling quarter-sawn oak cabinets, hammered hardware, soapstone countertops, a gorgeous 2x6 sage green tile backsplash, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances that will inspire your inner culinary artist.
Towards the back of the home, an informal dining area and cozy desk nook provide a perfect space to enjoy breakfast or catch up on work while overlooking the backyard. Adjacent is the convenient mudroom, featuring tiled floors, a coat closet, and hooks for everyday essentials.
On the south side of the main floor, you'll find a versatile Music/Flex room and a family room with a private entrance, making this ideal for a home office, extra living space, or even an independent living area for family or guests. A tastefully appointed ¾ bathroom completes this space.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer comfort and style, with a beautifully updated full bathroom and a generous center hall linen closet. The unfinished third level presents exciting potential, whether you envision it as an extra bedroom, home office, or media room—it's ready for your personal touch.
The lower level features a half bath, workshop, laundry area, and plenty of additional unfinished space (~800 sq. ft.) to create your dream space.
A brand-new roof was installed in 2025, adding peace of mind to this already outstanding home.
