2104 Kenwood Parkway ... Mary's House

Thank you, Fred,

for posting these snapshots.

However, even if I could afford such a place, I would be afraid. Not of the tourists, but of the winter Minnegasco bill!

It's beautiful!
I would love to have all that room to roam around in.

Even though it's not decorated in period Victorian, I find it very warm and inviting as is.  So when are you and Robert closing on it?

Only $16,600 a month!

What a beautiful home - they really have done a nice job.

The tourism might get annoying...everyone needs a picture in front of your house!

Oh my! That house is to Die for! Oh the flooring around the staircase, and the entrance itself.

Only $16,600 per month...

I could make one house payment every 5.3 months if I put my entire paycheck toward it. I drive by it for a photo op whenever I'm with someone who hasn't seen it before--usually after we stop in at the Walker Art Center. Great to see the inside!

Fred and Robert

Thanks for showing us all of these pictures of this beautiful house. Wow, yes we could all pool our money together and buy this. What about those taxes and the gas bill in the winter? I have an 1897 Queen Anne victorian but surely not this grand.
There would be lots of room though for all of our washer and vacuum collections. Here is a picture of mine, not as grand and it pales to Mary's house, not even comes close to the one in Minneapolis. Thanks for posting. Gary

Its beautiful...BUT!

I wouldnt buy it IF I could, im still a Mid Century Modern Ranch type of guy!

 

[whirlcool]

It looks like the current owners spent a fortune remodeling it. And they expect a return on their investment!
Beautifully done on the inside.

It's Not Just The Picture Taking

But the constant serenading.. "Who can turn the world on with her smile...."

*LOL*

 

[ronhic]

I'd have it in a flash!

 

[washerman]

I wonder...

Do they still have the "MTM" table marked in the plaza of whatever the IDS Center is called nowadays?

Thank you Goodle! Yes! They do!

Minnesota 1986

In winter 1986 I did an elective term at the University of Minnesota before returning to graduate in Sydney. The professor of adolescent medicine and his wife were delightful and gracious hosts inviting me to stay at their home, but I do think that I did disappoint her when I didnt squeal with delight when she offered to drive me past this house. I explained we did have MTM in Australia but I had rarely watched her being brought up on our ABC and the BBC and only occasionally allowed to watch "Get Smart" and "Bewitched". My parents didnt approve of that American trash. Now if she had offered to drive me to Bedrock and past the Rubble's residence that may have been a different story....
