Description

Nestled among the stately homes of prestigious Park Avenue, this extraordinary historic residence is a rare opportunity to own one of the avenue’s finest and most admired homes. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this timeless beauty blends historic elegance with modern comfort in a way that is truly unforgettable.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the exceptional curb appeal, highlighted by brand-new landscaping, siding, and roof completed in 2025. The expansive property offers rare additional parking behind the home for approximately five vehicles, plus a two-stall garage — an incredible convenience in this sought-after neighborhood. Shared Driveway with an agreement in place. Adding even more charm, a historic Downtown Albert Lea streetlight illuminates the driveway, complete with a spare original globe.

Inside, the craftsmanship and character are simply breathtaking. Gorgeous, beveled glass windows on the main floor fill the home with dazzling natural light and create stunning rainbow reflections throughout the day. Original refinished hardwood floors gleam throughout the home, while the remarkable original woodwork, elegant staircase, built-in bookshelves, and impressive Butler’s Pantry showcase the timeless artistry rarely found today. Even the original living room wallpaper has been impeccably preserved and looks nearly new.

Offering 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an additional basement shower stall, the home provides both spacious living and functional flexibility. The main floor primary bedroom features three lighted closets, while the convenient main floor laundry includes a utility sink. The warm and inviting woodburning fireplace creates the perfect gathering space for Minnesota evenings.

Modern upgrades ensure peace of mind and convenience, including:
• NEW Roof (2025) Transferrable Warranty!
• NEW Siding (2025)
• NEW Landscaping (2025)
• NEW Smart Stove & Refrigerator (2024)
• NEW Anderson Windows upstairs
• NEW Continuous Gas Water Heater
• Fiberoptic Internet Service

The peaceful backyard patio with electric remote awning offers picturesque views of Fountain Lake, creating the ideal setting for relaxing mornings or evening entertaining. A charming front 3-season porch adds yet another inviting space to enjoy this remarkable property year-round.

All appliances stay with the home, including the Ring Security System (water softener is rented). The driveway was replaced in 2008, and sellers recently completed a VA inspection, meaning the home has been thoroughly reviewed from top to bottom.

Homes on Park Avenue are treasured for generations, and neighbors rarely leave — a true testament to the warmth, beauty, and peaceful atmosphere of this iconic location. Some antique furnishings may also be negotiable, perfectly complementing the historic character and elegance of the home.

    "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."
