About this home
One of the most extraordinary development opportunities in all of Minneapolis. Perfectly positioned in coveted Linden Hills and directly across from Thomas Beach on Bde Maka Ska, this irreplaceable homesite offers a rare combination of unobstructed lake views, breathtaking downtown Minneapolis skyline vistas, and immediate access to some of the city's most beloved outdoor amenities. Widely considered one of the premier remaining build sites in Minneapolis, the property enjoys a truly unique setting adjacent to a substantial parcel of parkland, creating an expansive open feel and a level of privacy and green space seldom found in an urban environment. The neighboring parkland effectively extends the sense of ownership far beyond the property lines, offering a setting that feels dramatically larger than the lot itself. Whether your vision is an architecturally significant custom residence, luxury multi-generational living, or a thoughtfully designed multi-unit development, the flexibility and potential of this site are exceptional. Imagine waking to panoramic lake views, enjoying sunsets over Bde Maka Ska, and taking in the sparkling Minneapolis skyline from your future rooftop terrace, primary suite, or outdoor living spaces. Located within the highly desirable Linden Hills neighborhood, residents enjoy immediate access to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, coffee shops, walking and biking trails, parks, beaches, and the vibrant Lake Harriet and Bde Maka Ska lifestyle that has made this one of the most sought-after destinations in Minnesota. Property is zoned UN1 Urban Neighborhood 1 District with BFI1 Interior 1 Built Form Overlay District and SH Shoreland Overlay District. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding development possibilities, building envelope, density, design requirements, and site plan review standards. A truly once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Minneapolis' most iconic locations.
