If you would like to buy only a portion of the property, we may be able to put you in touch with other interested individuals that could buy with you.
The sellers want to support cohousing so this is only being marketed through Cohousing Advocates and not through the Minnesota MLS (multiple listing service).
This large, beautiful, well maintained, Victorian mansion on Portland Ave. holds three separate apartments each with private kitchen and bath as well as five single rooms that share a kitchen and two bathrooms. The basement includes a washer/dryer, storage, a workroom and a crafts room. It’s centrally located, convenient to Downtown, Powderhorn Park and Uptown and has easy on-street parking. There are hardwood floors throughout, beautiful woodwork, vintage built-ins and chandeliers as well as a private, fully landscaped garden with stone furniture, fountain and lots of blooming perennials—a perfect retreat from the city, great for cook-outs and summer lounging. The block has many long-term owner-residents who work together to keep the neighborhood strong.
It’s a grand old house that has been owner-occupied and lovingly maintained for decades. It was established as a boarding house in the 1930’s and has a long history of community living dating back to the 1960’s when it was a Quaker community. We are two friends who bought the house six years ago, have lived there ourselves and filled it with mature community-minded renters, most of whom have been long-term. The variety of living units and common areas meet a range of needs and make it easy to find both privacy and togetherness. We’re not eager to sell, just ready to. We will soon no longer be living in the home and, while it continues to be a good income source, we’d love to pass it on to people who will carry on it’s tradition of owner-occupied community living.
