Description
A Northfield Gem on the Coveted East Side
This move-in ready, turn-of-the-century treasure is the Northfield home you've been dreaming of. Nestled in one of the city's most sought-after east side neighborhoods, this stunning 5-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers a wonderful combination of historic character and one-level living, if desired.
Step inside and be welcomed by exquisite original woodwork, stunning cross-cut Oak floors, leaded glass windows, and a grand staircase that speak to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A gracious front porch sets the tone for the warmth you'll find throughout. You're just steps from Carleton College's campus and Central Park, and only blocks from vibrant downtown Northfield, the Carleton Arboretum, and the City swimming pool.
Lovingly cared for and refreshed, recent improvements bring the home's historic character into sharp focus. Freshly finished walls, ceilings and floors create a clean, bright backdrop that lets the period details shine. For instance, the second-story floors have been refinished and retrimmed to beautifully showcase their rare, seamless Douglas Fir, and the many kitchen and pantry cabinets have been painted inside and out.
Four bedrooms and a full bath occupy the upper level. The fifth bedroom on the main floor is a versatile addition, complete with a Murphy bed and walk-in closet — perfect as a guest room, home office, or whatever your lifestyle demands. A remodeled ¾ bath and main-floor laundry complete the picture for genuine one-level living.
The open, bright, and dry basement with its impressive ceiling height is a clean and blank canvas ready for your vision — whether that's additional living space, a hobby haven, or generous storage. Both the workshop and root cellar received new insulation and ceilings. Above, the attic with three sides of windows and soaring ceilings awaits the next homeowner's imagination. Both spaces offer exciting potential for expansion.
A newer high-efficiency condensing boiler, wood-burning fireplace, and double-door entry keep the home cozy through Minnesota winters. Come summer, a whole-house circulation fan draws cool evening air through the home — efficient, effective, and wonderfully old-school.
For added peace of mind, this home includes a one-year Home Warranty.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere is no structure when it comes to student discipline or keeping a safe environment for the students when it comes to bullying, harassment, discrimination, etc. The safety of students highly impacts the academic engagement of a student and with the school turning a blind eye to important matters like this highly affects our students and this safety concern comes from the behavior of students and even the staff themselves and nothing is done. What a shame to have such a beautiful school and city have such poor learning environments for our children.Other Review1y ago - Northfield Senior High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt seems unless you are star student or an athlete, you are lost in a mix. School is more focused on nonsense rather than teaching and my child has learned practically nothing. One of the band teachers tries to make students state their pronouns and actually said that she wanted to focus on composers besides "white men". How about we stop bringing race into everything and focus on TALENT. There is absolutely no reason to bring racial divide into my child's education, nor is there any reason to focus on someone's sexuality. My child has since dropped band because he didn't feel comfortable with some of the things she was saying. Most of the other teachers seemed OK. The student parking area is trash, so many potholes and we have to pay a yearly fee for them to park there! For a district that has this much of a tax base, how are they spending their money when always talking about budget cuts, cutting extra-curriculars and teachers and staff. And now they want to build an entirely new high school?! No dude, fix the one you have and stop trying to raise our taxes. We are taxed enough in this state already!Parent Review2y ago - Spring Creek Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHaving four children who have attended this school, we could not be happier with the experience. Two are in college and two at Northfield HS. All have achieved beyond our expectations because of their strong start at Sibley Elementary.Parent Review7y ago
