Property Details

TP Healy restoration in progress

This 2+ story is a duplex. The current owner is the 3rd owner and has been in the same family for more than half a century. This Healy-built home has been partially restored over the past years by an architect and current owner. The property is available now as an incredible opportunity to take part in this historical renovation.

Original maple hardwood floors cover much of the 2+ stories (except kitchens and baths). Original millwork has been stripped of its aged and oxidized finish - some refinished, some not but all of it impeccably Healy and in remarkable condition.

While work is left to be completed, much has been accomplished:

A new roof, architectural shingles plus multiple flat roofs have been replaced. A new water heater was just installed.

Extensive electrical and HVAC zoning have been accomplished - 4 zones - dividing the building into custom zones is possible. (one working AC condenser, 4 furnaces). There is no remaining knob and tube wiring. Much of the plumbing has been replaced.

Many of the original light fixtures and hardware for the main level have been retained and are ready for reinstallation. All stained glass windows are present (most original to the house). The front porch balusters and rails have been retained for refinishing and reinstallation.

An incredible architectural addition was built to accommodate stairs from the ground/garage level to the second floor. There is also a shaft built where an elevator could be installed.

The 3rd floor (part of unit #2) is mostly finished and could be lived in during renovations of 1st and 2nd floors.

Many kitchen appliances have been partially installed but never used.

This project is nothing short of a labor of love. Restoring history to be loved by future home dwellers is work worth doing. The remarkable history of homes in Lowry Hill is part of what makes the City of Minneapolis a great place to live. An historical summary of the home will be provided upon a visit.

Offered in "as is" condition, the price reflects a remarkable opportunity for restoration enthusiasts or investors seeking substantial upside potential. This impressive residence awaits a new chapter—ready to be transformed and cherished for generations.
