4333 Beard Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55410

Triplexes are rare in Linden Hills, and this one is a standout. The building pairs classic character with flexible, income-producing space. Original woodwork and hardwood floors run throughout. There are two spacious two-bedroom units and an open, contemporary studio.

The main-level unit has a generous sunroom that adds living space from spring through fall. Upstairs, an oversized private deck has room for a grill, outdoor furniture, or even a generous container garden Single-family homes in Linden Hills can be out of reach for many buyers.

Here, you can live in one unit and have rent from the other units help offset your mortgage. You get the lakes, the shops, and the neighborhood feel, at a monthly cost well below that of a comparable single-family home. Tenants pay their own heat and electric, which keeps operating costs predictable. Opportunities like this in Linden Hills don't come along often.
