Description

Rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Tudor-style home brimming with historic charm and character in the heart of Albert Lea. Built in 1942 and nestled on a corner lot just moments from Fountain Lake and Albert Lea Lake, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath two-story offers timeless architecture, irreplaceable original details, and a location that outdoor enthusiasts will love — with fishing, boating, and paddling at your doorstep and nearby Myre-Big Island State Park offering 25 miles of scenic hiking and birding trails. Step inside to discover hardwood floors throughout, rich original woodwork, and a warm, character-filled interior that simply cannot be replicated. The spacious living room features a brick fireplace and an abundance of natural light, while a separate formal dining room and an eat-in kitchen area offer flexible spaces for everyday living and entertaining. A charming three-season porch and a den with a stunning tin ceiling and built-in shelving round out the main level. Outside, a paver patio with an adorable gazebo creates a perfect spot for relaxing or hosting guests. All three bedrooms are located on the upper level, including a primary with two walk-in closets — a surprisingly modern touch in this classic home. A private rooftop balcony offers a serene perch to take in the treetop views. The partially finished basement adds a second fireplace and additional living space. An attached two-car garage and corner lot complete this truly special property.

    "I like all the parks that are less then a mile from my house. My favorite park in my neighborhood is Frank Hall park. Frank Hall park has a play area for kids, a fishing pier, Public water access for boaters, and Gazbos that are perfect for a picnic (The humane society is by the park too! highly recommend checking it out if you want a pet.). Right across the street from the park there is a basketball and a pickleball court and the Aquatic Center."
