2409 E Lake Of The Isles Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55405 - MLS# 7153391

An extraordinary piece of Minneapolis architectural history, 2409 Lake of the Isles Parkway East was designed by renowned Minnesota architect William Gray Purcell and completed in 1908 as an important early expression of Prairie School architecture. More than a century later, the home has been meticulously restored, with a historic exterior renovation and comprehensive interior modernization that beautifully balance architectural integrity with modern luxury. Purcell's signature horizontal lines, asymmetrical entrance, and seamless connection to the landscape remain defining elements of the residence. Expansive banks of casement windows fill the living room and adjoining sunroom with natural light while framing lake views from nearly every room. The formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining with views across both the front and rear grounds. The chef's kitchen features custom-designed, grain-matched bleached walnut cabinetry and a premier collection of Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances. A generous butler's pantry with wine and beverage refrigeration, sink, and ice maker provides exceptional storage and entertaining support. A fireside sitting area offers a comfortable retreat and potential informal dining space, while an oversized sliding door opens to the front terrace and grilling area. Throughout the residence, three gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create an atmosphere of warmth and refinement. The exceptional primary suite includes a private office and custom morning station with dishwasher, undercounter Sub-Zero refrigerator with ice maker, sink, and garbage disposal. The luxurious ensuite bath features an oversized soaking tub beneath five lake-view windows, a spa-inspired walk-in shower, custom cabinetry, and a dressing table. The lower level offers a spacious recreation room and abundant storage, while laundry rooms on both levels provide added convenience. A two-car attached garage and expansive driveway easily accommodate residents and guests. Set on nearly one-half acre, the fully fenced and beautifully landscaped grounds create a remarkably private urban retreat. Four distinct terraces provide exceptional spaces for entertaining and relaxation, while the expansive backyard offers room for a pool, pickleball court, play area, or additional landscape enhancements. A rare opportunity to own a residence where architectural significance, refined living, and one of Lake of the Isles' most distinguished settings converge.
