Property Description

Welcome to this Whittier gem! This classic 2.5-story Victorian beautifully blends original character and charm with thoughtful updates for modern living. Filled with natural light and timeless details, this home offers the kind of character that’s increasingly hard to find—without sacrificing the improvements buyers want. The large, sunny updated kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring custom cabinetry and stone countertops with plenty of space for cooking, gathering and entertaining. A main-level powder room was thoughtfully added in 2020, and major updates include a new roof in 2024, a new electric water heater in 2026, and a professionally lined main sewer from the home to the street in 2026—a substantial improvement. Upstairs, the home continues to deliver classic Victorian charm, while the home’s original gravity furnace offers a unique piece of Twin Cities history and wonderfully quiet, gentle heat. This long-lasting heating system has been serving the home for decades and is part of what makes older homes like this one so special. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a private urban oasis, perfect for morning coffee, gardening, entertaining or simply enjoying a little breathing room in the city. The recently reconstructed front porch pairs beautiful black locust hardwood decking with modern cable railings, creating a gorgeous spot to enjoy the neighborhood. And then there’s the location: right in the heart of Whittier, surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops, parks, neighborhood amenities and everything that makes this area so vibrant. The Greenway, Uptown and downtown Minneapolis are all close at hand. Classic Minneapolis character, meaningful updates, great outdoor space and an unbeatable location—this is a home with history that’s ready for its next chapter.
