Surprisingly Spacious Four-Level(!) Split in Southwest Minneapolis
Where: 5737 Oliver Avenue South.
What: 2 BR/2 Baths with four finished levels, vaulted Living Room with Fireplace, and over 1,600 finished square feet on a huge, .22 acre lot.
When: listed March 21; closed April 1 (Friday).
How much: asking price — $250k; sold for $277,500.
Who: listed by Ross Kaplan, Edina Realty – City Lakes; selling agent was Beth Lindahl-Urben, Coldwell Banker Burnet.
Combine a hot Southwest Minneapolis neighborhood popular with first-time Buyers and remodelers; energetic marketing (courtesy of yours truly); and a feature-packed home that belies its modest-appearance, and what do you get?
A ton of showings, a mobbed Broker Open, and ultimately, multiple offers and a sold price well over asking.
Best of all for the Seller (my client): a cash deal that closed in 8(!) business days — Friday, to be specific (no April 1 issues, thankfully).
*Including virtually staging the Living Room (pictured above and unstaged, below), Master Bedroom, and lower level Amusement Room.
