Olfelt House
Minneapolis, MN 1958
Completed in 1960 and offered for the first time in 56 years by the original owners, this light-filled home is a rare find as it uniquely features a basement and furnishings designed specifically for the household. Nestled into a quiet tree-canopied cul de sac on a triple lot totaling 3.77 acres near downtown Minneapolis, this home affords excellent privacy and superb views overlooking its own grassland and woods. The house has 2,647 square feet and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car carport with storage shed. It is constructed of brick with signature Cherokee red stained concrete floors, mahogany millwork and paneled walls. Special features include a basement-level family room with a swing, built-in seating, a bar and plumbing for an additional third bathroom; a Wright-designed dining table with removable leaf; a master suite including a three-quarters bath and built-in wardrobe and dresser; and a gallery hallway with built-in storage.
