Property Description
Perched atop a private hill in one of Minneapolis' most walkable and architecturally rich neighborhoods, this extraordinary residence offers a rare blend of timeless character and artistic allure. With the potential to span over 4,600 square feet, the home is a testimony to fine craftsmanship, natural light, and enduring beauty. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by stunning wood floors, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of windows that bathe the home in warm, natural light. Every detail tells a story—from the handcrafted staircase to the inviting nooks and alcoves that add both function and flair. Entertain with ease in the spacious, formal dining room—an elegant setting perfect for hosting gatherings, holidays, and special occasions. Additionally, the kitchen offers a warm and inviting eat-in space. The living room features elegant pocket doors, offering optional privacy and cozy warmth in the winter months when the fireplace is on—creating a perfect setting for relaxation or intimate gatherings. One of the home's most cherished spaces is the summer kitchen—a nod to its historic roots—reimagined as a versatile mudroom, gear hub, game room, or casual hangout. The newly added library room is a striking and flexible space, perfect as a reading sanctuary or converted into a main-level bedroom with an adjacent ¾ bath. Upstairs, the primary suite features a spacious dressing room. The second floor also includes four additional bedrooms on one level, offering exceptional convenience and flow for family living. The upper levels reveal even more surprises—an attic transformed into a serene office or bedroom, complete with a claw-foot tub bathroom, workout area, and playful retreat. The “shoe soles” installation, crafted by a local artist who once called this home, brings an unexpected and whimsical touch. Storage is abundant, with an expansive unfinished basement offering even more potential. Completing the experience is a thoughtfully placed sauna—perfect for warming up as the snow falls outside and the city lights shimmer in the distance.The home includes an oversized one-car garage, with generous space in front for additional off-street parking—an uncommon convenience in this sought-after location.Set just one mile west of Lake of the Isles with immediate access to bike trails, lakes, and the very best of city living—Loring Park, the Walker Art Center, the Sculpture Garden, Wedge Co-op, and countless restaurants and shops at Harmon Place—this home delivers the perfect mix of peaceful seclusion and urban convenience. With proximity to major highways and downtown Minneapolis, the location is unbeatable. A one-of-a-kind residence where history, artistry, and opportunity meet—this is a home to be experienced.
