A rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of South Minneapolis history. This American four-square beauty has been owned by only two families, and the current owners have meticulously maintained the home while preserving the craftsmanship and character that make it so distinctive. Beautiful woodwork, leaded and stained-glass windows, hard wood floors, and a box-beam dining room ceiling are just a few of the original details. The dining room also features a built-in buffet with stained glass originally from England. Three bedrooms are on the second floor, including a primary bedroom with a generous sitting room overlooking the backyard. The remodeled full bath features a marble vanity top and heated ceramic floors. The professionally renovated third floor, completed in 2006, includes a gas fireplace. A huge
front three-season porch, year-round back porch, and main-level full bath add to the appeal. The fully fenced backyard is professionally landscaped with a large pond and water feature, garden shed and detached three-car garage. All of this is located near some of the city’s most acclaimed restaurants, the YMCA, bike paths, and easy access to downtown. A home with this much character, craftsmanship, and history is a rare find.
