Property Description
Welcome to 1818 Kenwood Parkway, a remarkable 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home set on a rare double-wide lot in Minneapolis's highly sought-after Kenwood neighborhood. Rich in character and history, this exceptional residence offers the perfect blend of timeless architecture, generous living spaces, and an unbeatable location. Built in 1896, the home was commissioned by William L. Harris, founder of the New England Furniture & Carpet Company, as the grand prize in one of Minneapolis' most famous promotional contests.

A home with this level of history, architectural significance, and setting is a rare offering. 1818 Kenwood Parkway is more than a home-it's a lasting piece of Minneapolis history, ready for its next chapter.
