Property Description
This 1961 mid-century modern home carries genuine architectural pedigree, protected under a Preservation and Conservation Easement Deed held by Rethos (formerly Preservation Alliance of Minnesota) — a designation reserved for real property significant to the history, architecture, and culture of Minnesota. The design reflects a Usonian-influenced, rectilinear massing: a flat roof, rectangular plan, and large recessed glass walls on the east and west elevations. Construction is refreshingly simple and honest — unpainted gray brick inside and out, paired with concrete exterior panels — giving the home strong visual and positional dominance on its wooded site.
Step inside to a sought-after open floor plan anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, framed by walls of glass that flood the massive living room with panoramic east and west light — a stunning backdrop for entertaining. The home is currently configured as a 2-bedroom, with real potential for additional finished living space; because the property is preservation-protected, any changes to the floor plan require prior written approval from Rethos, who has discretion over what's permitted — a detail worth understanding fully before you plan a renovation. (see supplements)
A large lower-level walkout offers substantial storage now, with real potential for future finished square footage. While there's currently no garage, there's ample room to build a 2-to-3-car garage designed to mimic the home's original architectural language.
This is a rare, once-in-a-generation opportunity to steward a piece of Minnesota's mid-century architectural history on one of Snail Lake's most private settings. Come see it and imagine the possibilities.
