Truly one-of-a-kind with rich local history — this land includes the original abstract dating back to 1850, before Minnesota even became a state! Situated on a fully fenced double lot in the sought-after Lexington-Hamline neighborhood, this property blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates in all the right places.
Step through the spacious three-season porch into a welcoming social room anchored by a rustic gas fireplace. The flowing layout connects to a cozy family area, a formal dining room, and an immaculate gourmet kitchen — large, bright, and built for both everyday living and entertaining. A full bathroom on the main level adds convenience and character.
Upstairs, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms and another full bath, along with a showstopping primary closet—a full-room transformation complete with windows and natural light. It’s elegant, functional, and truly unforgettable.
Don’t stop there—head up to the third floor, where you’ll find untapped potential and vintage character. The unfinished space exudes speakeasy vibes and is ready to become your creative studio, lounge, or retreat.
Very walkable to restraurants, community playgrounds, gardens, and parks, walking/hiking trails, light rail and transit. Easy commute to both downtowns.
Lovingly cared for by every owner throughout its lifetime, this home radiates warmth, craftsmanship, and pride. Rarely do properties like this come to market—especially with this combination of history, space, and character.
