The 2,870-square-foot home has been meticulously renovated and maintained by the current owner for the past 13 years. They bought the property in 2010 for $450,000, according to Realtor.com®.
When I sold the house to Peggy and Sharon, it still had a cedar roof and siding on the exterior," says listing agent TJ Pierret. They kept the 1931 charm but added more modern elements to make the home very eclectic and unique."
Notable features include a new gas fireplace and pine paneling, new tile and tub in the bathroom, and a unique "barrel-vaulted" hallway with cabinet storage.
The house also has an interesting history: it's associated with a local female legend from the nearby University of Minnesota.
Dr Vera Lois Erickson, who owned the house from 1976 to 1997, was a pioneering professor of educational psychology and part of a group of women who sued the University of Minnesota for pay discrimination, says homeowner Peggy Schulte.
After winning the lawsuit, which benefited generations of women, Erickson mentored other women and retired from the University of Minnesota in 2005.
We believe her spirit will continue to bless this house, Schulte added.
The three-bedroom home is nestled in a quiet, tree-lined neighbourhood close to some of the Twin Cities' best attractions - including the nearby Mississippi River and the 51-mile Grand Rounds bike and walking trail system. Walking distance to art museums, restaurants, farmers markets and shopping.
