Skinner & Palmers First Add

Set along the Shell Rock River, this beautifully restored 1895 home is a rare blend of historic character, thoughtful craftmanship, and everyday livability. Lovingly updated with an eye toward preserving the soul of the house, the home incorporates salvaged and reclaimed materials throughout. From antique doors, cabinetry, drawers and hardware to a salvaged tin ceiling, antique lighting, William Morris wallpaper, custom radiator covers, and one-of-a-kind details that simply cannot be replicated in a new build. Inside, approximately 1,800 square feet offer flexible living space with three bedrooms, additional office/flex space, a full bath, ¾ bath, and a convenient main-floor laundry. The kitchen pairs character with function, featuring poured -concrete countertops and a custom island topped with antique marble. Marble-tiled bathrooms, a cast-iron laundry sink, a gas range, and carefully chosen vintage-inspired finishes continue the home’s collected-over-time feel. The updates extend well beyond the cosmetic. Improvements included a newer boiler, tankless water heater, updated electrical, newer shingles, five Pella windows along the south side of the home, and a freshly painted exterior, all while retaining the warmth and individuality of a late-19th-century house. Outside is where the property becomes something truly special. River views provide a changing backdrop throughout the seasons, while years of thoughtful gardening have created an established landscape filled with perennial and native plantings as well as edible gardens, and apple tree. The historic character goes beyond its own backyard as the home was featured on both local Art & Garden and Historic Home tours as well as the cover story of Albert Lea magazine, a fitting recognition for a property that has been carefully cultivating!
