Want to buy the Minneapolis Tulip House — minus the tulips? The East Isles duplex is now on the market for $650,000.
Flashback: The home's front yard had become a springtime destination thanks to the gardening work by its previous owner, who passed away earlier this year.
- The owner planted over 20,000 tulips each year that drew thousands of visitors when they bloomed, and everyone was welcome to "touch, see and smell" the flowers.
The intrigue: Because the tulip bulbs were removed and then replanted by the owner each fall, they are not included in the sale, but new owners will inherit the Little Free Library that looks identical to the home.
Why we love it: The meticulously-maintained "Victorian cottage" sits on a sunny corner lot just three blocks from Lake of the Isles and is steps away from Hennepin Avenue's many restaurants and shops.
Layout: The main floor is 1,100 square feet with two bedrooms, one bathroom and a private back patio with a hot tub and a canopied pergola.
- The three-bed, two-bath upper unit, which is currently rented to long-time tenants, is over 1,700 finished square feet with a Juliet balcony, private entrances and bedroom loft.
Interior features: Hardwood floors, high ceilings, gas fireplace, historic millwork, remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, in-unit laundry and new windows, air conditioning and roof.
Exterior features: Enclosed front porch, fenced front yard, astroturf patio, hot tub, pergola.
