How would you like to live in a home with no street out front?
Driving the news: Pentz Homes listed this historic house on the unique Milwaukee Avenue in Minneapolis' Seward neighborhood.
By the numbers: The two-bedroom, two-bathroom Victorian home at 2101 Milwaukee Ave. has 1,579 square feet, including a loft.
- It was built in the 1880s but completely remodeled in the 1980s, per the listing.
Catch up quick: The two-block stretch between Franklin Avenue and 24th Street has 46 homes dating back to the late 1800s that were built for working-class immigrants.
- The homes had fallen into disrepair and were slated for demolition, but neighbors rallied in the 1970s to get a historic designation that led to their restoration.
- The narrow street was turned into a pedestrian mall, though there's still back alley access for vehicles.
