That's amazing! Needs nothing! Perfect.

Goodness, what a beauty. Spectacular details … so happy to see the original wood. I keep looking through the photos, marveling over it all. Unbelievable workmanship.

I’m a big fan of Minneapolis/St Paul, spent a lot of time there (even during a winter in the early 90’s we lost power for days. That was in Eagan). :D

Thank you for sharing!

Lovely, lovely, lovely but so many things that require intricate dusting.

Oh, my!!! Love it!! The kitchen is beautifully fitting!! Right now, I would love a city sewer system, not too far from the street….waiting on the septic pumper….

What a beauty! @Jilly - waiting for your smellavision take on this

What a gracious, beautifully updated house! I would live in it as is in a red hot minute. After it was moved at least as far south as Virginia, that is.

Wow, that's really lovely. I love the vintage light fixtures (probably not original, since "original" would have been gas lights, but probably original to when the house was electrified). And notice how they pulled out the pocket doors so you wouldn't miss them (for those of us who care about such things).

Kswl, here’s one in Virginia. Circa 1700s. I’m in love:

It is perfect! What a well loved perserved house! The lighting fixtures are my favorite part!

Such a beauty.

It’s beautiful! Interesting cabinets by the prep sink in the kitchen. They are appliance garages with glass, so you don’t forget that you HAVE a bread machine and instant pot!

Lovely! And great value. Is this reflective of MPLS prices? What is the area like?

Too bad the rear yard seems to be all asphalt.

Well Minneapolis isn't a great place to be these days - huge increase in crime and ineffective city government more concerned about bike lanes than reining in murders and carjackings. This isn't in the greatest location but not the worst either. If you’re an urban dweller accustomed to a certain amount of crime you probably would think it was fine.

Kind of funny - I was looking at the photos again because I just can't get enough of it. So I see stereo equipment and albums that make me think "audiophile" because I live with one. So then I'm looking around for the speakers - ah yes - I recognize the Magnapans in the other room. I know them well as they are a part of the decor in not one but two of my rooms. DH would never allow his to be blocked by furniture.

I noticed the stereo and albums, too. I also love the houseplants displays. The details are lovely, and I could cook for hours on end in that kitchen. It's a very thoughtful house, and I hope it finds an appreciative new owner. I didn't see--what are the property taxes?

It's a very thoughtful house

agreed ... it has some unusual special touches

The windows sell it for me. This home has all updated electrical it appears. It has been updated and what a great job! I too noticed the 'original' fixtures. If only homes talked...what history that block has witnessed.

Beautiful home. Here is an article with its history. Thanks for sharing.

Property tax is $5K for 2021. Here's another listing with a 3D walkthrough - love those!

3116 3rd Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55408 | MLS: 6137392 | Edina Realty

That's it, I'm retiring to Minneapolis!! A lot of upkeep expenses on that one, but a labor of love. Urban does not necessarily mean crime, you can look up neighborhoods to see the crime rate and what crimes. It varies quite a bit from neighborhood to neighborhood. I lived in an old urban neighborhood for 12 years and felt safer than I do out here in more remote exurbia with all the meth heads. The worst crime we had was related to cars parked outside, bike theft, etc. No one ever stole anything off of my porch or backyard, and we had few break ins. Nary a mugging. Ironically some of the worst crime was done by my ex neighbor drug and gambling addict to support his habit. His wife kicked him out and he became homeless but would still roam the neighborhood looking for trouble. He started out a respectable married nurse and ended up living in his car, even his mother wouldn't have him around . . . not an "urban" thing by any means.

Anyhoo, that house is so fabulous I would never have to leave it anyway, so as long as it didn't get set on fire, I could just stay happily ensconced in that little world . . . and I've heard Minneapolis has some fabulous sites, it always lands pretty high on desirable cities to live in for the resources there . . . if you can tolerate the winters. It would be too far from family and friends for me though . . . but such homes can be had all around the country, and not very expensive either, because they are definitely a niche market for a certain type of person, they are not for the minimalist . . .

I'm not a big fan of Victorians, but I'd take it in a hot minute. It's simply spectacular!

OMG, $5000 --- a year?! --- in property taxes. Do not tell my DH, he will get a UHaul in the morning.

There is no way in he!! I’d live in Minneapolis these days (though I looked long and hard to live there years ago) but I LOVE this house.

Someone (or a series of someones) has loved that house, nay HOME, to perfection. It is truly a rare gem. I want it.

I love that house. There are some beautiful old houses in that part of the city, but the neighborhood is iffy. You really have to know the area block by block. I lived in South Minneapolis to the north and west of there for 25 years. I always liked that I could walk a few blocks to the west and be in the most expensive neighborhood in the city (Kenwood) and a mile to the east and be in one of the poorest neighborhoods. I moved to St. Paul because of DH. People from Mpls and StP will intermarry but the ones from StP just won't actually MOVE across the river! :-)

Other than some of the wall colors, it's beautiful. I especially love the quarter-sawn oak cabinets in the kitchen, something I'd have in a heartbeat for my own kitchen if I could afford it.

Wow I am so glad for the postings today because somehow I missed this over the last 3 days.

That was fun.

I find it creepy that my phone talks to my computer, since they are only connected by the fact that they both use my wireless Internet server. Now I'm getting all kinds of ads about MN and Minneapolis on my Facebook page. I have not searched for any MN related information nor posted anything MN related. Just looked at the house listing here . . .

@l pinkmountain - that kind of thing is one of the reasons I discontinued the use of Facebook years ago.

Well, I've locked it down as much as I can, been very selective about

"friends" and it's mostly OK and I use it to keep abreast of local news and professional stuff and a wonderful community of far flung friends. I sort of accept that it goes with the territory, but I also think your phone listens to you, and so does Alexa and Dot, which is why I leave Alexa turned off when not in use for music listening, and am not chained to my phone. The worst part is the pathetic use of algorithms to expose you to things you might be interested in. Lord knows what would happen if I clicked on some other links or news articles just to see what was going on . . . or used certain words, even in disgust!!
