Stately 2+ story home located in the East Harriet neighborhood of southwest Minneapolis, and just a few short blocks to Lake Harriet! This historic home was originally built as a duplex, and although it has been lived in as a single family home for the past 3+ decades, the home offers unique floor plan opportunities. It's a perfect house to have a roommate, with semi-separate spaces or multigenerational living. A new buyer could do renovations to customize the home to their own single family lifestyle needs, or an investor could explore the necessary changes to convert it back to a legal duplex. Features include main and upper level enclosed porches, front & back staircases, newly finished wood floors, bay windows, beautiful stained glass, and a quaint rear sitting porch overlooking the private backyard. Another very special feature of this property is the detached studio. This unique space was designed and built by acclaimed artist, Mike Lynch, who received a Lifetime Achievement grant from the McNight Foundation. It became his art studio, but offers flexible studio space for a variety of uses. If studio space is not desired, it was designed with the possibility to convert to a detached garage - or potentially renovated to become an accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
