Property Description
This move-in ready, turn-of-the-century treasure is the Northfield home you've been dreaming of. Nestled in one of the city's most sought-after east side neighborhoods, this stunning 5-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a wonderful combination of historic character and one-level living, if desired.
Step inside and be welcomed by exquisite original woodwork, stunning cross-cut Oak floors, leaded glass windows, and a grand staircase that speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A gracious front porch sets the tone for the warmth you'll find throughout. You're just steps from Carleton College's campus and Central Park, and only blocks from vibrant downtown Northfield, the Carleton Arboretum, and the City swimming pool.
Lovingly cared for and refreshed, recent improvements bring the home's historic character into sharp focus. Freshly finished walls, ceilings and floors create a clean, bright backdrop that lets the period details shine. For instance, the second-story floors have been refinished and retrimmed to beautifully showcase their rare, seamless Douglas Fir, and the many kitchen and pantry cabinets have been painted inside and out.
Four bedrooms and a full bath occupy the upper level. The fifth bedroom on the main floor is a versatile addition, complete with a Murphy bed and walk-in closet — perfect as a guest room, home office, or whatever your lifestyle demands. A remodeled ¾ bath and main-floor laundry complete the picture for genuine one-level living.
The open, bright, and dry basement with its impressive ceiling height is a clean and blank canvas ready for your vision — whether that's additional living space, a hobby haven, or generous storage. Both the workshop and root cellar received new insulation and ceilings. Above, the attic with three sides of windows and soaring ceilings awaits the next homeowner's imagination. Both spaces offer exciting potential for expansion.
A newer high-efficiency condensing boiler, wood-burning fireplace, and double-door entry keep the home cozy through Minnesota winters. Come summer, a whole-house circulation fan draws cool evening air through the home — efficient, effective, and wonderfully old-school.
For added peace of mind, this home includes a one-year Home Warranty.
