1821 Emerson Avenue S

SOLD BEFORE PRINT. Steps from downtown Minneapolis and the Sculpture Garden, this beautifully restored Victorian pairs historic character with modern comfort and income flexibility. Behind the front porch and gabled facade, box-beam ceilings, dark wood millwork, built-in bookcases, and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the main living spaces, alongside an updated kitchen with a large center island, stainless appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook. The second level offers four generously sized bedrooms (one ensuite), a home office, laundry, and two bathrooms, while the third-level primary suite features its own private sitting room, spa-style ensuite with soaking tub and walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. The finished lower level adds a family room, laundry, and workshop with garage access. A two-story carriage house, connected through the garage with its own private entrance, houses a 1BR/1BA apartment -- ideal for rental income or comfortable in-law living. Outside, a gated brick courtyard with a tiered fountain and string lighting creates a private urban retreat, complemented by a rooftop deck for entertaining.
