Property Description for 3641 Dupont Avenue S Minneapolis MN 55409 - MLS# 7075930

This one-of-a-kind Arts & Crafts home, located in the highly desirable East Harriet neighborhood, has been a labor of love for over 50 years. Beautifully restored and thoughtfully improved, the home retains its remarkable original character while incorporating high-quality updates throughout. The setting is equally special. Located across from the park-like grounds of Lakewood Cemetery, the home is approximately a 10-minute walk to Bde Maka Ska and a 15-minute walk to Lake Harriet, with easy access to walking and biking trails, Lyndale Park Rose Garden, Roberts Bird Sanctuary, restaurants and neighborhood amenities. Inside the home, original maple floors and extensive oak millwork have been carefully restored. The dining room includes a coffered wood ceiling, designer wallcoverings, built-in oak buffet and custom triptych stained-glass window. The living room is centered around a restored fireplace with gas insert, while the adjoining sitting room overlooks the backyard through a large picture window. A three-season front porch, with solid oak flooring and a beadboard ceiling, provides additional living space. The kitchen was renovated with quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, Cambria quartz countertops and aged maple flooring selected to complement the home's original floors. Solid-wood replacement windows and antique, period-appropriate lighting are among the many additional updates throughout the house. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a separate office/den, full bath with a custom stained-glass door, and an upper-level balcony. The finished lower level includes a family room with built-in bookcases, laundry and a three-quarter bath. The backyard feels like a sanctuary. Stained cedar fencing surrounds extensive, established landscaping, with a clay-brick path winding through the gardens to a large patio. Flagstone walkways, Chilton stone retaining walls and a hammock beneath a mature locust tree add to the setting. A pergola and water feature complete this exceptionally private outdoor space. This is not a house that was simply updated. It has been cared for, restored and made better over the course of half a century by owners who understood what they had. The result is something increasingly rare, an Arts & Crafts home whose history remains very much present, surrounded by gardens and a neighborhood every bit as distinctive as the home itself.
