Property Description
Tucked into the tree-lined streets of Lynnhurst and only two blocks from Lake Harriet and Minnehaha Creek, this Georgian home has long been the Minneapolis residence of acclaimed designer Martha O'Hara. Its pedigree is well documented: the property has appeared on magazine covers, earned multiple design awards, and stands as one of the most recognized historic homes in the neighborhood.
Originally designed in 1922 by architect Ernest Kennedy, the home underwent a comprehensive renovation and addition in 2016 led by Murphy & Co. Architects, O'Hara Interiors, and John Kraemer & Sons. The result is a seamless blend of early twentieth-century character and the advanced functionality expected from today's luxury homes. Recreating this level of craftsmanship with the same caliber of team would require a significantly greater investment today.
A gracious octagonal foyer welcomes you into a living room wrapped in windows and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A custom rotating bookcase conceals the television, a signature detail that underscores the level of intention found throughout the home. The dining room, fitted with a wall of built-ins, leads to a generous kitchen designed for serious cooking and easy gatherings. Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a steam oven, abundant storage, and a large island with heated marble make the space as comfortable as it is beautiful. A sunroom extends the main level out toward a canopy of mature trees, while the breezeway addition introduces a curved staircase and striking wall of windows.
Upstairs, the primary suite includes a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and renovated bath with heated floors, a soaker tub, and walk-in shower. Two additional bedroom suites each feature walk-in closets and full bathrooms with marble finishes, built-ins, and designer lighting. The convenience of an upper-level laundry and the quiet retreat of a third-floor office with an unusual amount of built-in storage complete the home's private spaces.
The lower level is both practical and adaptable, offering a family room, wine cellar, workshop, and a second laundry. A fourth bedroom suite is possible with the addition of an egress window; the existing half bathroom and plumbing are already configured to support a full buildout. Mechanical systems have been consistently maintained, including recent improvements in 2025.
Across all levels, the home carries a sense of cohesion and warmth that speaks to its design lineage. Historic millwork, carefully restored architectural details, and modern comforts come together in a way rarely achieved in homes of this era.
The location further enhances the appeal. From here, it is a short distance to Lake Harriet, Linden Hills, and the 50th & Penn district, with neighborhood staples such as Broders, Nico's, and Lake Harriet Pizza close by. The boutiques and dining at 50th & France are only minutes away.
*Seller offering a credit towards adding the egress window to create the 4th bedroom.
