Tucked into one of Minneapolis’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Lowry Hill, this truly special cottage-style home blends classic charm with modern comforts. Step inside to discover unique architectural details that add depth and distinction, from the original custom front door, to Tudor-style beveled diamond windows ,and charming board & batten accents. The circular layout of the main level allows seamless flow from room to room. With many large gathering spaces and quiet corners to retreat to, this home offers a wonderful balance of energy and tranquility. Hardwood floors grace the main level, creating warmth and continuity throughout. The inviting living room features a wood-beamed ceiling, classic built-ins, and an arched fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings and relaxed get-togethers. The living room leads to the sunny den, currently serving as a breakfast room with built-in seating and access to the terrace. An additional family room with updated 3/4 bath on the main level provides even more space, making this home ideal for hosting. The remodeled kitchen is a true showstopper. It boasts custom cabinetry, sleek waterfall quartz countertops, and a stylish tile backsplash.
