Some homes are defined by their architecture. Others by their location. The rarest homes offer both. Set on one of Linden Hills' premier residential blocks, this exceptional 1918 Craftsman Foursquare places the very best of the neighborhood just outside your front door. Walk to Lake Harriet, the Bandshell, neighborhood coffee shops, acclaimed restaurants, parks, farmers markets and boutiques, then return home without ever needing the car. It's the kind of walkable lifestyle that has made Linden Hills one of Minneapolis's most beloved areas to live. Beyond its remarkable setting, the home strikes a balance between historic character and modern comfort. Refinished original hardwood floors, exceptional original millwork, a striking built-in buffet, abundant natural light, and a gas fireplace showcase the home's enduring character. The spacious primary suite offers a true retreat with a walk-in closet and a remodeled bath featuring heated floors and a large custom-tiled shower. The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, a large center island, updated cabinet hardware, a new GE Café appliance suite, and an adjoining sunroom currently used as an office. Rare for the heart of Linden Hills, the private 0.21-acre lot offers an expansive patio, mature gardens, and generous green space for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. The streetside two-car garage with attached shed and a lower level workshop provide meaningful storage and hobby space rarely found in homes of this era, while the unfinished 441-square-foot walk-up third floor offers even more storage today and exciting potential for additional finished living space in the future. More than $200,000 in recent upgrades have enhanced the home's comfort, efficiency, and long-term value while preserving its original character. Notable improvements include a whole-home heat pump HVAC system providing efficient heating and cooling, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, professionally restored first-floor windows by Hayes Window Restoration, remodeled bathrooms with custom tile and glass shower enclosures, attic insulation, designer lighting and ceiling fans throughout, radon mitigation, restored and optimized irrigation, thoughtfully redesigned landscaping, new flooring/paint, and many other updates throughout the property. Whether you're drawn to its timeless craftsmanship, exceptional walkability, or the confidence that comes with extensive recent investment, this is a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed for years to come.
