1540 River Terrace
Minneapolis

This home is an architectural gem commissioned by Lenox Mills (original owner/Berkeley professor) & designed by Close Associates, an influential firm in the local community. Although classified as mid-century modern, its unique exterior mimics the Berkeley-inspired redwood & its interior truly exudes a traditional English cottage style with distinctive character, most notably the garden-level kitchen/dining room & innovative blends of wood & brick throughout. Bask in the sunny southwest-facing main-level living room & family room with handsome Beachwood paneling & beams. Step out to the balcony overlooking the backyard gardens. Cozy up to the oversized wood-burning fireplace with a raised hearth. Open the hidden door to an attic with so much space & potential! Upper-level bedroom + full bath. Newly painted screen porch to relish the gorgeous sunsets, smell of lilac & backyard views where the remaining Ginko tree still stands. Newly carpeted second bedroom on the garden level + laundry & 1/2 bath. Located in the south end of Prospect Park, a special pocket of Minneapolis within walking distance to the U of M. Proximity to E. & W. River Pkwy with access to bike trails- part of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway makes this the perfect area for the outdoor enthusiast!
