About 1620 Sumter Avenue N
Welcome to this move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the heart of Golden Valley. Situated on a peaceful, tree-lined street, this home combines comfortable living spaces, thoughtful updates and a convenient location near shopping, dining, parks, trails, downtown Minneapolis and the metro freeway system for easy commuting. Enjoy the warmth of the morning sun streaming through the large east-facing windows and the timeless beauty of hardwood flooring throughout the main level. The recently refreshed kitchen blends style and function with new quartz countertops, sink, faucet and tile backsplash, complemented by updated stainless-steel appliances, including an induction-cooktop range. The main level features three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a private half bath, plus a full shared bathroom serving the additional bedrooms. The living room, dining room and den/sitting room provide plenty of space for everyday living and flexible use as a home office, recreation space or hobby room. The lower level expands the living space with a generous family room offering plenty of room for game nights, movie nights, ping-pong, pool, air hockey or other recreational uses. A wet bar with mini-fridge and ample storage makes entertaining easy. Two flex rooms, a 3/4 bathroom and a spacious laundry room with an oversized utility tub complete the lower level. One of the flex rooms offers the potential for a fourth bedroom with the addition of an egress window. The covered front porch offers a comfortable place to enjoy the outdoors. The large, flat, fully fenced backyard features a professionally built, adult-size treehouse that can be enjoyed as an adventure space, relaxing retreat or both, while a storage shed provides additional outdoor storage. Two cozy, wood-burning brick fireplaces add warmth and character to the home. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, refreshed bathrooms, new kitchen quartz countertops, sink, faucet and tile backsplash, new carpet in the den and lower-level flex room, and sewer liner replacement, all in 2026. The roof, gutters and nearly all aluminum trim were replaced in 2024, along with installation of a top-of-the-line Bryant Evolution Extreme variable-speed heat pump/air conditioner in 2025. The electrical service was upgraded to 200 amps in 2023. Lower-level luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed in 2021, and James Hardie siding was installed in 2009. Nationally designated as a Gold Medallion Home, the property uses electric utilities and appliances throughout. With its combination of character, flexible living space, extensive recent improvements and convenient Golden Valley location, this home is ready to welcome its next owner.
