Property Description
Purchased in 1943 by Dr. H.A. Northrop, a respected community physician, the residence served as the family home where he and his wife raised eight children. Beyond his medical career, Dr. Northrop was a notable figure in Minnesota history, running as a candidate for both Governor of Minnesota and the United States Senate.
From 1987 to 2000, the home entered a new chapter when two Northrop siblings transformed it into a successful bed-and-breakfast destination, welcoming distinguished guests including Dr. Joyce Brothers and Art Linkletter.
Today, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 6-bath residence seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort. Stunning original woodwork, exquisite stained glass, and two fireplaces create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication throughout. Four covered porches and a spacious deck provide inviting spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the property's unique charm.
Thoughtful updates have enhanced the home's beauty and functionality, including a refinished main level, remodeled kitchen, new third-floor windows, a new roof installed on all three buildings in 2023, appliances less than five years old, and numerous additional improvements detailed in the supplemental documents.
Whether envisioned as a grand private residence, a boutique hospitality venture, or a distinctive investment opportunity, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to begin its next remarkable chapter.
