Description

A beautifully reimagined 1906 Prairie-style home inspired by the Prairie School and the early work of Frank Lloyd Wright, this rare Prairie Box blends preserved architectural character with modern fixtures and finishes. Offering 2.5 stories and over 3,100 gross square feet, including nearly 2,000 finished above-grade square feet, the home delivers generous space with a flowing, open main level. The home’s distinctive dormers and window groupings create a strong horizontal rhythm with the roofline, adding architectural depth and a sense of movement that sets it apart from typical early-1900s houses. Inside, high ceilings and recessed lighting on the main level highlight an open floor plan that flows from a sunroom—ideal for a home office—into a living room, second living area, dining room, and a spacious open kitchen, creating an inviting and flexible layout for modern living and entertaining. A main-level bathroom adds everyday convenience. Major updates include new roof, windows, electrical, plumbing, water heater, furnace, and a remodeled kitchen, providing modern reliability with timeless style. A full unfinished basement and unfinished attic offer excellent future expansion potential. The lot also allows room for a future garage and enhanced outdoor living, and the seller is open to negotiating additional improvements prior to closing. Nearby institutional growth adds long-term value: The Abbott Northwestern Hospital campus, a major Allina Health hub one block from the home, is undergoing a significant multi-year revitalization that includes a new state-of-the-art Richard M. Schulze Surgical and Critical Care Center being built in partnership with Mortenson Construction, reinforcing sustained healthcare investment and employment in the area. Located in the vibrant Phillips neighborhood, this home offers a rare blend of historic architecture, modern livability, and future opportunity.
