This elegant 3 bedroom, 1 bath duplex is nestled in the heart of the Eat Street neighborhood of South Minneapolis. 2nd Floor unit available. Oversized master bedroom easily accommodates a king bed, with Jack and Jill closets. 2nd bedroom is generously sized with a walk in closet. South facing 3rd bedroom is filled with windows and makes a cozy retreat as an office or den as well. Amenities include on site laundry and 2 off street parking spaces. Lush perennial garden surrounds the home, connecting the screened in front porch to the patio in the back. Completed in 1900 by Minneapolis builder and architect W. H. Groffe as his personal home in the Whittier neighborhood, the current owners painstakingly restored the unit in 2014. This elegant unit offers over 1500 square feet of sugar maple hardwood floors. The soaring 10 foot ceilings create a stately space that is anchored by the richly colored original woodwork which is reminiscent of a bygone era.
