2609 Hennepin Ave

Welcome home to Unit 201 at East Isles Flats! This second-floor 2-bedroom sits inside one of the corridor's most recognizable historic brick buildings, featuring original hardwood floors throughout, generous room proportions, and a private balcony with ornate ironwork and open views of the Hennepin streetscape. The layout flows naturally from a wide entryway into a spacious living area anchored by large windows, a ceiling fan, and original cast-iron radiators - the kind of character detail that newer buildings simply don't offer.

The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, and refrigerator, complemented by granite-look countertops, a tile backsplash, and direct balcony access - ideal for morning coffee above the tree line. The updated bathroom features a pedestal sink, tiled surround, and contemporary vanity lighting. Both bedrooms are properly sized for a queen or larger, with ceiling fans, hardwood floors, and natural light.

Step off the balcony and you're already in one of Minneapolis's most walkable stretches. Chipotle is directly across the street, Spyhouse Coffee is a two-block walk, and the dining and nightlife that line Hennepin continue in both directions. Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet are all within easy biking distance, and quick access to major roads makes commuting easy in any direction.
