2601 Portland Ave Apartments

About 2601 Portland Ave

$1,505 - Charming Carriage House w/ Fireplace, Koi Garden Views — Garage Parking Included - Available NOW! Tucked above a heated garage on the corner of two vibrant one-way streets, on a tree-lined plot in West Phillips, this one-bedroom carriage house is one of those rare finds that people don't let go of easily. Previous tenant lived here for 10+ years! The heart of the apartment is a wide-open living space with hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and windows on multiple sides that flood the room with natural light all day — morning sun from the east, soft indirect light through the afternoon. A functional wood-burning brick fireplace anchors the room. A powerful mini-split AC unit keeps summers comfortable. Radiant heat handles the winters. The layout is flexible: past tenants have set up a dedicated workspace at the east-facing windows, a reading corner near the fireplace, even a green house in the breezeway; and everything in between! The bedroom is a proper, private room — separate from the living space, with a full bathroom (tile floor, shower) just steps away. The kitchen has lots of storage and is fully functional, with hardwood floors carrying through from the living area. Outside, you'll have access to one of the most genuinely special yards in South Minneapolis: a 40-year cultivated, fully fenced oasis with mature shade trees, a raised dining patio, and a large koi pond with waterfall feature — audible from both the living room and bedroom on warm evenings. Outdoor furniture is included. The yard is shared with the owners, who take pride in keeping it beautiful. Spacious garage space is included in rent. The garage has automatic lighting, a digital keypad, and a keyed entry — and there's room for a second car behind yours for guests. Ample free street parking is available as well. Mail is received at a shared entry accessible. Attic storage is available and shared among building residents. The location is as good as it gets for South Minneapolis daily life: World Famous "Eat Street" is 5 blocks away, with groceries, parks, daycares, and restaurants all within easy walking distance. The neighborhood scores 94/100 for cycling. Well-behaved pets considered with monthly pet rent and a non-refundable deposit. Pets must be supervised in the yard (fully fenced, but we ask that dogs remain leashed to protect the garden and koi pond). 12-month lease, converting to month-to-month (long-term tenants desired!). Flat monthly utility share of $125 applies. Utility share includes gas, electric, water, AC, Radiant heat, and internet. Rent includes in-building laundry/dryer, garage parking, storage. Rent varies by occupancy. Available NOW, accommodating flexible August move-in OR September 1 move-in.

2601 Portland Ave is located in the Phillips Neighborhood and 55407 Zip code of Minneapolis, MN.
