A rare architectural gem in a prestigious SW Minneapolis location, this historic Purcell & Strauel home is just steps from Minnehaha Creek and close to Lake Harriet, parks, shops, and restaurants. Thoughtfully updated yet rich in original charm, it features spacious yet cozy rooms, two gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, and various living spaces for relaxing with loved ones. The kitchen with center island flows into the sunroom and out to a lovely deck overlooking the large, professionally landscaped, fenced yard. This classic home is move-in ready. Enjoy summer evenings on the deck or patio, gathered around the built-in stone fire pit surrounded by evergreen, cedar, and maple trees. This is a rare find in a prime location! Walk, run, bike, or paddle on M'haha Creek and easily connect with the city lakes and renowned Grand Rounds Scenic Byway. Designed and built in 1929 by William Gray Purcell in collaboration with Frederick Strauel; this home was featured on the Mpls Institute of Arts Architectural Tours. Note the 2-story polygonal bay, Roman bricks, half-timbers and stucco, with deeply set multi-paned windows next to the front door, slanted chimney with brick accents, carved rafter tails peeking out from under the eaves and Purcell's trademark beam that sticks out past the right edge of the entry porch. A true work of art and Minneapolis history!
