Historic Minneapolis Mansion Listed for $2.695 Million
Minneapolis, MN – A stunning Gothic Revival stone mansion, built in 1906, has hit the market for $2.695 million, located in the desirable Lowry Hill neighborhood. Spanning 10,392 square feet on a 0.6-acre lot, this exquisite residence features seven bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and three half-baths, along with a unique underground tunnel leading to a separate one-bedroom guesthouse.
Designed by renowned architect William Channing Whitney, who also crafted the Minnesota governor’s mansion, the property has undergone extensive renovations by the current owners, including the installation of new windows and modern kitchen appliances.
Surrounded by city amenities, Kenwood Park—with its tennis courts, soccer fields, and playground—is located less than a mile away, while downtown Minneapolis is just a 10-minute drive, and downtown Saint Paul is 20 minutes by car.
The estate boasts a grand entrance featuring a tiled foyer and reception hall adorned with black walnut floors. Key highlights include a main living area with a marble-surrounded fireplace, a three-season porch with terrazzo flooring, and a cozy den featuring mahogany paneling. The formal dining area is seamlessly connected to an eat-in kitchen via a well-appointed butler’s pantry. A sunroom with original stained-glass windows adds a touch of historical charm.
On the upper level, the primary suite impresses with a turreted sitting area, a dressing room, and an exquisite bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub. Five additional bedrooms, a laundry room, and a home office complete the second floor, making this mansion a perfect blend of historical elegance and modern luxury.
