Minneapolis, MN 55419
Price: $4,250,000
Along the eastern shore of Lake Harriet stands one of Minneapolis’ most enduring residences, built over a century ago from massive blocks of locally quarried stone. Solid, architectural, and virtually irreplaceable, this premier corner lot commands panoramic views of the very water that gave it meaning. Lake Harriet was named for Harriet Lovejoy, wife of Colonel Henry Leavenworth, who established Fort Snelling in 1819. Local legend holds that this very vantage point inspired the lake’s name. Fittingly, the words Love and Joy remain carved above the home’s main arch, an enduring signature in stone. Inside, four finished levels showcase exceptional craftsmanship and scale. Marble, onyx, terrazzo, hardwood, and custom tile floors anchor a grand reception hall and sweeping staircase. Formal living and dining rooms, sun-filled gathering spaces, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen balance elegance with daily comfort. A barrel-vaulted mezzanine library, rich with custom cabinetry and fireplace, stands among the home’s most remarkable spaces. Upper levels include a lake-facing sitting room and a spacious primary suite with fireplace and spa bath. The third-floor ballroom, lower-level entertainment rooms, wine storage, radiant heat, and attached 3+ car garage complete a residence designed for both legacy and livability. This is not simply a home on the lake. It is a home tied to the lake’s very story. The next chapter is yours to write.
