Welcome to the finest home in the city, built in 1869. This spectacular home has been the cultural center of Marcy Holmes Neighborhood for more than a quarter century. This majestic, Chaska Brick home sits on the corner of SE 5th St and SE 5th Ave in the Minneapolis Historic South East 5th Street District. The late owner held hundreds of book and poetry readings, concerts, performances, weddings (for friends) and fundraisers in their Classic Italianate Style home. The seven bedrooms are all on the upper level as well a linen alcove and a former kitchenette/ laundry area from when the home was a rooming house prior to the current family's tenure. Original details include hardwood floors, 12 foot ceilings on the first floor, leaded glass windows and cabinet doors, original hardware, cast-iron window arches, massive wooden brackets at the eaves, a majestic front porch with cement board flooring, the screened side porch on the East Side of the home for those afternoon shady gatherings those sunny mornings. Kitchen was updated in the early 2000's. Boiler was replaced in 2023. This home awaits those that live to revive the elegant life of centuries past.
