Kingfield, Minneapolis

A rare form period classic: owner occupant alert! Steps off MLK park on the bikeway, this 1926 tudor era up // down is on the bus // bike lines in Kingfield and steps from the 38th and 42nd corners.

The Duplex Manifesto- alter the course of your financial future by committing to celebrating the many affordable classic apartments across Minneapolis & St Paul. Dan & Rita cherished 3923 and owner occupied her brick surrounded quarters for over 5 years. They dialed her lower unit during their owner occupancy- completing all new windows, a complete kitchen remodel, lighting and hardwoods, paint and enamel throughout. Both boilers were replaced by Team mechanical in Slant Fin applications

They have reached a point in life where its time to grant the opportunity of classic duplex ownership on the next stewards. Her upper unit is stoic and ripe for the creative improvement: original 1926 birch shaker cabinets, original oak & maple hardwoods, and top down arched fireplaces with flanking swing-in piano windows!

We’re very enthusiastic about the fiscal benefits of duplexing over a starter home, this example has so much potential for her next owner to curate the upper level in a timeless manner. Rare Form is rooted in multi unit occupancy as foothold into classic home stewardship, this is a fabulous example that will alter whoever has the ambition to apply the sweat equity her interior commands!
