Overview

Description

Remarkable opportunity to enjoy breathtaking views of the lake and the downtown Minneapolis skyline from perhaps the best lot in the entire city. Located in the thriving and highly popular Linden Hills neighborhood and directly across from Thomas Beach, this lot also borders a considerably sized parcel of park land which essentially doubles the usable size of this property. Two truly stunning modern home designs from Unfold Architecture and Sustainable 9 Design + Build already exist for this property and one has an approved permit so construction could start immediately. Or you can start from scratch and design a new home with the same award winning team. The existing designs feature gorgeous open floor plans, luxurious main floor owners suites plus 2 to 3 other spacious bedrooms and an office. One design offers soaring 12+ ceilings with main level living and the other offers an incredible second story entertainment room and massive rooftop deck that all face the lake. Land plus build packages start at $3.55m.
