About this home
California Modernism meets Minneapolis lake living! Tucked into historic Cottage City, just one block from Bde Maka Ska, this distinctive 1959 Mid-Century Modern home offers an architectural experience rarely found in the Minneapolis lakes area. Originally established as a summer cottage retreat in the 1880s, Cottage City remains one of the city's most intriguing hidden neighborhoods. Clean horizontal lines, expansive windows and sun-filled interiors reflect the timeless appeal of modernist design. The open floor plan creates an effortless connection between living spaces, while a spectacular office or fourth bedroom, surrounded by windows on three sides, offers views toward Bde Maka Ska. A marble kitchen and thoughtful architectural details complement the home's distinctive character. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2025, Andersen sliding doors installed in 2016, garage wiring for an electric vehicle charger, and refreshed landscaping. Step outside and enjoy the best of Minneapolis lake living, with walking and biking trails, beaches, parks and the shops and restaurants of Linden Hills just moments away. An uncommon opportunity to own an authentic piece of Mid-Century Modern architecture in a neighborhood rich with history, personality and charm. Set up a private showing today!
