House overview

Stunning, one-of-a-kind home in beautiful, serene southwest Minnesota. Combines rich historical architecture with fully-designed high end interior. With four finished floors and nearly 7000 square feet of fully renovated living space, this home is a must see in person as the pictures cannot do it justice.

Built in 1906, this exquisite home is situated behind Canby’s historic stone fence, just two houses down from the Lund-Hoel House, Canby’s famous 1891 historic Victorian home.

The original part of the house maintains its historical integrity with all original quartersawn oak woodwork, hardwood flooring, two sets of gorgeous pocket doors, original built-in bar and stunning light fixtures. The grand staircase is a work of art with a paneled wall, Palladian window and gorgeous wood detail.

A 1,200 square foot seamless addition was added in 2000, and with the fully finished attic and basement, nearly 7,000 square feet of beautiful living space exists on four floors, including three living rooms, 5-6 bedrooms and 3 gorgeous custom bathrooms.

The large main floor family room has a vaulted ceiling, fireplace and beautiful custom built-ins. Attention to detail includes woodwork milled to match the original for the addition, six panel doors reused and original kitchen cabinets repurposed into a bathroom vanity and a built-in bar.

The original two-story barn has been remodeled on the main floor into a woodworker’s dream shop. This could also be used as a she-shed, pottery studio, man cave or anything else you could dream of.

The two-story, two-car garage was built in 1991 and boasts attic style storage and a man cave in the upper level.
