Property Description

Welcome to the Gallery House- designer remodeled, steps from Bde Maka Ska! Step into this fully renovated, 4 bed, 4 bath, turn-of-the-century residence, where European sophistication meets modern functionality. Designed with an artful eye, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully reimagined by a professional designer for luxurious, comfortable living and stylish entertaining. Fresh white walls, clean lines, and a sun-filled open floor plan create an ideal canvas for a curated art collection, while expansive windows and easy living spaces blur the line between indoors and out. Standout features on the main floor include an oversized, luxurious daybed in the living room, cleverly anchored by original columns, a large dining room with easy access to the trellised back deck, a spacious living room with versatile areas for conversation, relaxing, or hosting, a dramatic, welcoming fireplace, a convenient 1/2 bath, and a chef's kitchen, complete with sleek, white cabinetry, huge island, new stainless steel appliances including a European-inspired induction range, and a pantry. Upstairs you will find three bedrooms flooded with natural light, walk-in closets with efficient built-in shelving and drawers, a closeted washer and dryer, and 2 bathrooms. The luxurious primary bath displays an ethereal, cloud-inspired theme, from the spa-like Italian tiled walk-in shower to the deep soaking tub resting under a sculptural "cloud" pendant light. The lower level offers flexible living with the fourth bedroom and bath - perfect as a guest suite, studio apartment, office, or workout room. A secret wine closet completes the space. Architecturally distinctive, this Dutch Colonial embodies a singular charm, thoughtfully preserved and elevated by the designer and renovator, whose European background deeply informed the renovation. The home's characteristic dormer lines are artfully emphasized both inside and out, most notably through the Mansard roof - a deliberate homage to the iconic Parisian style. Enhanced with charcoal shingles and similarly painted dormers, the roofline presents a bold contrast against the pristine white facade, adding drama and elegance to the exterior. This beautiful home offers the best of vibrant city living - just steps from the Chain of Lakes and within easy walking distance to local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and miles of scenic bike and walking trails. The Gallery House is truly a study in refined design, modern minimalism, and luxurious, experiential living.
