Positioned within walking distance of the McKennan Park Historic District, this 1890 1.5-story sits in one of central Sioux Falls' most architecturally significant pockets - and the location delivers on multiple fronts for owner-occupants. McKennan Park itself is just a few blocks north, offering Mediterranean sunken gardens, the restored 1926 bandshell, eight lit tennis courts, basketball and shuffleboard courts, horseshoe pits, a free summer wading pool, and tree-canopied walking paths. Avera McKennan Hospital is essentially next door at 26th & Phillips, and Augustana University is roughly half a mile east - an exceptional setup for medical professionals, faculty, and university families. Downtown Sioux Falls is a short drive or bike ride north, putting Phillips Avenue shopping, the Washington Pavilion, Falls Park, and the dining and brewery scene along the Phillips and 8th & Railroad corridors within easy reach, while the University of Sioux Falls and Sanford USD Medical Center remain a quick commute.The home itself spans 2,230 finished square feet across three levels and has been thoughtfully updated while retaining its historic character. The standout feature is a true main-floor primary suite - a 17x14 bedroom with en-suite - paired with an oversized 27x23 living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, and an updated kitchen featuring knotty alder cabinets, a gas range, and a combined pantry/laundry room for everyday convenience. Tile flooring runs throughout the main level, adding a clean, durable finish. A second main-floor bedroom doubles easily as a home office, and the upper level adds two more bedrooms plus a large dressing room/bath. The finished basement extends the living space with a 14x26 family room, wet bar with drink-fridge alcove, Mexican floor tile, and an additional half bath. Outside, the property sits on an unusually generous 0.26-acre lot (75x150) with mature shade trees, privacy fencing, a covered front porch, patio, storage shed, and concrete drive - and the rare-for-the-vintage attached, heated 2-car garage is a meaningful upgrade over comparable homes in the district.
