This stunning Mid-Century Modern split-level building, designed by renowned architects Winston and Elizabeth Close, was constructed in 1952 on a prime corner lot in the Seward neighborhood. Built with a distinctive "chassis frame" construction, the structure features exposed redwood columns, expansive 4x4 fixed windows, and a thoughtful design that seamlessly blends form and function. A 1972 addition expanded the space while maintaining the integrity of the original design. With innovative heating and cooling systems, ambient LED lighting, and sustainable solar panels, this timeless workspace is both historically significant and modern in its efficiency. Located on the south end of the property is a dedicated 5-stall surface parking lot.
Located in the heart of Minneapolis’ vibrant Seward neighborhood, this unique property offers an ideal blend of urban convenience and natural surroundings. Just steps from the scenic West River Parkway and Mississippi River trails, it provides easy access to biking, walking, and outdoor recreation. The neighborhood boasts longtime favorites like Seward Café, Seward Community Co-op, and Soberfish, as well as newer hotspots like Darling Cafe and A Bar of Their Own—plus an eclectic mix of independent shops and creative local businesses. The property is well-connected by multiple Metro Transit bus lines and the Franklin Avenue Blue Line station, ensuring seamless access to downtown Minneapolis and beyond.
