There’s a Grounded Kind of Beauty Here.

This Folk Colonial Revival is the real thing — simple, honest, and full of quiet charm. Set on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in the heart of Kingfield, it offers a timeless presence and a space that just feels right.

Wrapped in classic wood clapboard siding, the home is surrounded by well-loved gardens, magically speckled with basalt boulders brought in from Lake Superior — a landscape that feels both rooted and a little enchanted. The friendly front porch, with its fir floors and beadboard ceiling, invites slow mornings and unhurried evenings.

Inside, the original layout is thoughtfully preserved. The flow is natural — connected yet defined spaces create a comfortable rhythm. Natural oak woodwork, hardwood floors, leaded glass windows, and built-ins give the home a quiet richness and enduring character. The cheerful kitchen has a sweet, sunny disposition, with original red birch cabinetry that’s aged beautifully, now paired with stainless steel appliances and updated flooring.

A welcoming foyer with a graceful balustrade, a rear mudroom, and a convenient powder room round out the main level, offering everyday function without compromising charm. The backyard is fully fenced with cedar for privacy, creating a peaceful space for gardening, gathering, or simply relaxing in the open air.

Upstairs, three nice bedrooms share a perfectly vintage full bathroom that’s been lovingly maintained. The third floor features a spacious attic — open and full of possibility, whether you dream of a studio, retreat, or guest suite.

All of this is tucked into one of South Minneapolis’ most vibrant, community-oriented neighborhoods. With parks, lakes, coffee shops, and beloved local restaurants just blocks away, this home is connected to everything — yet feels like its own little haven.
