Presenting a true architectural landmark by renowned architect Benjamin Gingold, this extraordinary 4,000+ square-foot residence rises across four dramatic levels in the heart of Lynnhurst, just footsteps from Lake Harriet. Defined by bold geometry and masterful materiality, the living room stuns with an 18-foot ceiling and a raised travertine platform anchored by a sculptural arched cylindrical fireplace. Rich mahogany detailing throughout the home creates warmth and striking contrast against its avant-garde forms. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated in harmony with Gingold’s iconic design language, introducing modern functionality while preserving the architectural integrity and artistic vision of the original concept. The primary bath is nothing short of a sanctuary, featuring Gaudí-inspired tile work and a cascading, immersive design that feels both organic and elevated. Every detail has been curated to elevate daily living into an experience. At the heart of the home, a luminous four-story turret staircase spirals upward beneath a circular skylight, serving as both structural centerpiece and work of art. The lower level is ideal for guests with a huge family room that features a custom designed king-sized Murphy bed, updated three-quarter bathroom, and separate room currently used as an exercise room. More than a residence, this property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history—an expressive, uncompromising vision nestled in one of Minneapolis’ most treasured neighborhoods.
