2511 12th Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55411

First time on the market in over 50 years! Outstanding architect-designed home facing Lorraine B. Smaller Park in the heart of historic Homewood! This home was designed by Perry Crosier, who began his career as a draftsman for the eminent Harry Wild Jones, and ultimately went on to design numerous notable properties, several of which are designated on either the national or local registers of historic places, or both, including the Avalon Theater in south Minneapolis, and the buildings which make up the Golden Valley Road Historic District. This home has been meticulously restored and maintained over the years. Get ready to fall in love with the gleaming woodwork, hardwood floors, hand-painted mural, custom radiator covers, and so much more. A mini-split AC system will keep you cool in the summer, and the 5-zone radiant heating system will allow you to customize your comfort in the winter months. You’ll find plenty of space here, with 5 ample bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, (one ensuite primary ¾, 2 full baths, and a main-floor powder room, perfect for guests!) The second floor full bath was gutted to the studs and redone in 2021, and the kitchen was entirely redone in 2016, featuring solid stone countertops, custom cabinets and stainless steel appliances, including a brand new dishwasher installed 2025. Most windows on main floor are original and were professionally reconditioned by SP Windows with insulated track systems. Main bedroom windows were all replaced with high quality wood windows appropriate to period architectural style. Primary bedroom windows are original. A rare, two-car tuck under garage provides supreme convenience, especially during the winter months, and a 240V EV charger is already in place. You’ll love the prominent location, overlooking beautiful Lorraine B. Smaller park, your front row seat to a great National Night Out party, as well as skiing distance to internationally renowned trails and courses at Theo Wirth park (recent site of the World Cup!) The Loppet Foundation, Trailhead, V3 Sports, the YMCA, and so much more. Welcome home!
