Property Description for 2916 E 26th Street Minneapolis MN 55406 - MLS# 6735066
Meticulous Modern Revival on Oversized Lot in Seward This extraordinary, fully renovated home blends thoughtful craftsmanship, high-performance upgrades, and artistic design into one unforgettable property. Over the past 5 years, nearly every square inch of this home—inside and out—has been reimagined with care, efficiency, and longevity in mind. Exterior & Energy Efficiency Wrapped in R12 polyiso insulation beneath new Hardie siding and LP SmartSide trim, the home offers serious curb appeal and thermal performance. Cedar shake accents and ¾” douglas fir soffits add warmth and dimension. New windows, high-efficiency furnace and AC (18 SEER), a tankless water heater (2019), and LED lighting throughout make this home as comfortable as it is sustainable. The upper-level ceiling is spray-foam insulated, with mineral wool or fiberglass in all exterior walls and insulated rim joists. Fully Updated Systems All plumbing has been replaced with modern supply, drain, and vent lines and manifold shutoffs. Electrical has been completely overhauled, with a 200 Amp service and a 100 Amp subpanel to the garage—plus dual 50 Amp EV-ready circuits. Garage Lover's Dream The oversized 2-car garage is heated, insulated to the same high standards as the house, and finished with lofted ceilings, LED task lighting, and an oversized 8’x16’ door for taller vehicles. It’s wired for ethernet, roughed-in for additional gas heater, and includes built-in shelving, a wall-mounted TV, and a storage lean-to in back. Interior Highlights Main floor features ¾” Acacia hardwood flooring and reclaimed maple 5-panel doors with natural finish. An artist-welded steel baluster adds function and flair. Two Gorgeous Bathrooms Both bathrooms offer electric Schluter Ditra in-floor heat, Tile-Redi shower pans, custom MCM vanities with Dekton countertops, ultra-quiet vent fans, and built-in lighting upgrades. The upstairs bath features a shower with bench, a floating Swiss Madison toilet, and sleek dimmable LED lighting. Chef’s Kitchen A true standout, the kitchen features custom cabinetry with soft-close hardware, Silestone matte quartz counters, slate tile floors, and a suite of high-end appliances: Thermador dual-fuel range with grill, Miele dishwasher, and a 42” SS KitchenAid fridge. Designer brass accents, a broom closet with Dyson vacuum, and appliance garages complete the picture. Flexible Living Space The main-floor bedroom includes a loft accessed by custom welded steel ladder—perfect for sleeping or play. Upstairs bedrooms feature blackout shades, with one hosting a solar-powered Velux skylight. Roof, Gutters, and Foundation Architectural shingles and a skylight installed in 2019. Oversized gutters added in 2023. The foundation has been parge coated inside and out with mesh reinforcement for added longevity. Outdoor Oasis Reclaimed Purington pavers create a storybook driveway. Southern Minnesota limestone block retaining walls, bluestone and paver patios, and perennial gardens surround the property. A custom cedar privacy fence fully encloses the backyard. Front garden features Corten steel planter boxes, one of 2 hose bibs, and a sun-soaked spot for vegetables. The east-facing deck offers a secluded seating area with a hot tub-ready pad & wiring. Incredible location Just one block from the Midtown Greenway, 6 blocks to the Blue Line Light Rail, and 5 blocks to the Mississippi River & White Sands Beach. Quick access to most major highways, downtown, U of M, and Augsburg. Surrounded by local coffee shops, restaurants, and four grocery stores—including Minnesota’s largest co-op, Seward Co-op. This is not your average flip—this is a deeply loved, professionally crafted home built for performance and joy in a vibrant neighborhood. Come see the difference thoughtful design makes.
