If “peaceful but close to everything” had an address, it would be here. Nestled between Sweeney and Twin Lakes and the rolling greens of Theodore Wirth Golf Course, Hidden Lakes feels like your private retreat just minutes from downtown Minneapolis, West End, and some of the top private schools in the Twin Cities. Enjoy dock access for kayaking, canoeing, and other non-motorized water activities, or explore miles of scenic trails that wind through Theodore Wirth Park for hiking, biking, running, or cross-country skiing. There is even a playset and an open grass area just steps from your front door. As you step inside, you'll notice the fresh paint, refinished wood floors, new carpet, quartz kitchen countertops and backsplash, a new gas cooktop (to go along with other recently updated kitchen appliances), and several additional updates throughout, including a new furnace on 11/25/25. Also included is an optional loft-to-fourth-bedroom conversion (if you prefer three bedrooms on the upper level). Originally designed and built by Charles Cudd, the overall look and feel of this home is fresh and welcoming. On the main level, the office nook off the foyer provides so much natural light you'll look great on your next Zoom. The wall of windows and two-story ceiling offer a dramatic setting in the living room, which opens to the family room and recently updated kitchen. Just imagine the meals you're going to create on those gorgeous new countertops. Yum! The two-sided gas fireplace keeps winter movie nights warm and cozy, while the deck off the family room is a great space to dine al fresco in the summertime. Upstairs adds three bedrooms (one is currently the loft, see previous comment about conversion), and two full bathrooms, including a spacious owner's retreat with a separate tub and shower, and enough closet space for all the clothes “you're going to wear again someday.” Downstairs, you'll find a large, flexible family room that walks out to the charming screened porch. No mosquitoes here! There is also another bedroom, a 3/4 bathroom, and loads of storage space. Don't miss the 3D tour and floor plan. Welcome home to your personal retreat on Waterford Court!
