Elegant brick and stone Victorian home on a beautiful block of Girard Ave. S. in Lowry Hill. This gracious residence features beautifully maintained public and private spaces. Historical details have been preserved throughout, including original plasterwork, inlaid floors, working pocket doors, built-ins, and millwork. You are greeted to the home by a lovely, open front porch. The main level features 10 foot ceilings and flowing public spaces, including the gracious foyer and hearth room with gas fireplace, entertainment-sized living and dining rooms, a den (currently used as an office), a sun room with eating area, a cook's kitchen with a dual-fuel range and large center island, and a full bath. The second level features 9 foot ceilings, four bedrooms (one with a gas fireplace and currently used as a den), an updated 3/4 bath, and a handy, spacious laundry room. The third level features a studio apartment-like space with living/dining/sleeping areas along with a kitchenette and an amazing updated full bath with heated floors. The third level could be the primary suite, a family room, or guest space. There is a 3/4 bath in the lower level. The over-sized lot is nicely landscaped, and the fenced rear yard features a brick patio, great for relaxing and entertaining. The home has been lovingly and carefully maintained. The roof was replaced in the fall of 2023. Gas inserts for the 1st and 2nd floor fireplaces were installed in 2021. The furnace was replaced in 2019 and the mini-split AC was installed on the 3rd floor. Extensive tuck pointing was undertaken in 2015, and the top 3 feet of the south chimney was rebuilt as well. The current owners also replaced the storm windows, rebuilt the rear porch, and performed interior plaster repair. The home is highly walkable to Lake of the Isles, Kenwood Park, and area shopping, dining, and transportation. Easy access to downtown Minneapolis. This beautiful home is ready for you - be in to enjoy the summer.
