Introducing a breathtaking Lake Harriet historic property that seamlessly blends timeless character with modern luxury on the parkway. A meticulous “to-the-studs” renovation and thoughtful additions were incorporated into this home, preserving the architectural integrity of one of Minnesota’s most renowned firms, Liebenberg and Kaplan (L&K), while incorporating contemporary comforts. Setting this home apart is its exceptional energy-efficient design—built to newer codes, a rare city TISH score of 100, an uncommon feature among neighboring properties. The home’s sophisticated exterior enhances its stately presence, perfectly complementing its historic charm while overlooking picturesque Lake Harriet. Inside, a dramatic staircase with a vintage leaded-glass window serves as a striking focal point, setting the stage for the elegance found throughout. One of the many show-stopping features is the newly added private pool—an exclusive retreat framed by lush landscaping and a covered porch, perfect for outdoor relaxation. Impeccable craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the rich wood beams and custom mill work to the graceful arches that echo the home’s storied past. The upper level features five spacious bedrooms, including a generous bonus room, while the main level offers multiple sunlit living spaces, a gourmet kitchen, and a sunroom with heated floors—ideal for enjoying stunning sunrises and sunsets over the lake. The spa-like primary suite provides a tranquil escape with a reading room and an elegantly appointed bath. The lower level completes the home with a dedicated home gym space, a stylish basement bar, family room with a fireplace, and storage room. This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity—where historic grandeur meets modern sophistication in an unparalleled lakeside setting.
