About

Welcome to this beautifully preserved American Foursquare on a lush, perennial-covered lot in the beating heart of South Minneapolis. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for the past 45 years, this home blends timeless charm with exceptional stewardship and warmth. Step inside to discover a home rich in period details and thoughtful updates, tall ceilings, large windows, wood floors and charm around every corner. The main floor features a welcoming foyer with a delightful, period-correct powder room—a rare, elegant, and extremely convenient touch. The generously sized living room and dining room are anchored by a large picture window and gorgeous in-swing casement windows. Keep a keen eye for original details from the early 1900’s such as the work-of-art coal fireplace, gas lamp finial and a cast iron floor bell under the dining table. The large butlers pantry near the dining room or bifurcated staircase at the front foyer lead you to a bright kitchen with fresh wallpaper and an abundance of storage. On the upper level, you’ll find four bedrooms and a full bath with claw foot tub surrounding a large landing area with built-in linen storage. A walk-up attic provides more storage space. The limestone foundation lower level, truly one of the cleanest and most beautiful you’ll ever see, has tall ceilings, another full bathroom, washer/dryer, tool bench, and more space to make your own.. Solid, dry, and meticulously maintained, it’s a testament to the care and craftsmanship poured into this home over the decades. Outside, the lot is a garden-lover’s dream: mature, flowering perennials wrap the home in color and texture from spring through fall. Enjoy sipping coffee on the front porch or hosting garden parties in the backyard. With a large parking pad (with a built in basketball hoop!) and oversized 1 car heated garage, you have plentiful space for parking, playing and tinkering. Radiant heat and high efficiency electric water heater, new roof in 2024, fresh paint inside and out. Come see and explore the rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history!
