DETAILS

A truly rare opportunity to own a Parade of Homes–featured mid-century modern, designed and built in 1963 by noted architect Joe Miller. This 3-bedroom home with office or fourth bedroom is a showcase of innovation, functionality, and timeless design. The main level offers three bedrooms, including a private suite with a ¾ bath, plus a spacious sun-filled office. The living and family rooms feature two wood-burning fireplaces and striking wood beams that highlight the architectural style. A gorgeous built-in bookcase with a sliding ladder serves as both a design centerpiece and a practical library wall. The huge dining area and adjacent sunroom provide flexible spaces for entertaining or relaxing year-round. The kitchen was decades ahead of its time, featuring a dedicated mixing cupboard—a built-in baking center with pull-out shelf and storage for stand mixers and supplies. A spice cabinet and rolling cabinets add to the efficiency and charm. Architecturally, the home showcases early passive solar design with deep roof overhangs that shade in summer yet allow the warmth of the winter sun to pour in. Prestressed concrete beams support the living room floor, enabling the rare design of a large heated garage beneath. Downstairs, the walkout lower level offers a spacious family room, a workshop, and ample storage. Modern updates include a complete electrical service and panel upgrade within the last two years. Comfort is maximized with in-floor hot water heating in the living and family room, a four-zone hot water system, and central A/C in the bedroom wing. This is more than a home—it’s a piece of Minnesota history that blends architectural significance with everyday comfort.
