D. Kenwood Manor

Property Description

Blocks from Lake of the Isles, minutes to anywhere in Uptown, Bde Maka Ska or the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden, this gorgeous, spacious home is a winner of five design awards and has been featured nationally on “This Old House”.

Bright and airy throughout, the décor of this special 6-bedroom, 5-bath home is “Scandinavian minimalist”, and is enhanced with happy hearts throughout all four floors. This 1905 home retains its old-world charm with refinished original oak floors and fixtures on its main floor, carefully blended with the recent remodel which added improvements for modern life. These improvements include a new front porch with push-button retractable screens, radiant floor heating in the master bath, hypoallergenic indoor air, 200-amp service, and 3 outlets for EV’s (including one Tesla stoop outdoor outlet). The washer and dryer are centrally located on the second floor.

The bedrooms are all distinctive and lovely. The central landing on the second floor leads to a the master bedroom with a large walk-in closet and full en suite, a shared full bath, a queen bedroom with wardrobe, a queen bedroom with half en suite, and a full bedroom with views of the tree line. The third floor includes a sweetly decorated twin bedroom, and a resplendent king bedroom with skyline views, a sectional couch, private sink, and a walk-in closet. And just across the hall is a bathroom with clawfoot bath tub.

There are a variety of places for people to gather and hang out. A sun room features an 86” tv with surround sound and bass booster and the other living area is furnished for conversation, with a table great for board games or noshing centered among comfortable easy chairs. Featuring a long, built-in window seat, recline in the sunlight with one of the onsite books, or one of your own. Eat casually at the built-in breakfast nook in the kitchen, or perhaps you prefer the formal dining room which also favors a relaxed vibe.

In the basement, an additional entertainment area welcomes leisure time, where you can lounge or take advantage of the monster TV screen, not far from a built-in bar area with a mini-fridge, microwave, dishwasher and wine cooler. In good weather, if you’re not out seeing other Twin Cities sights, you can enjoy backyard fun grilling on the deck, simply relaxing on the patio, or enjoying sunsets from the front porch equipped with automatic screening.

When the weather isn’t so favorable, it’s a short walk from your car to the driveway side entrance. In front, a generously-sized mud room with plenty of storage space provides room adequate for a carload of people to comfortably make the transition between indoors and outdoors.

This is the perfect home away from home for families or groups looking for temporary lodging or a vacation home in Minneapolis.
