A New York State of Mind

2417 Emerson Ave S002Web2417 Emerson Ave S020Web New York meets Lowry Hill - with a whole new bag of tricks.

2417 has a rich history - a perfect fit for the urban preservationist seeking a New York vibe. Built in 1907, these units were originally sold to wealthy businessmen living on Lake Harriet who worked downtown. Serving as a logical "in-between," gentlemen owned these units to stay in during the work week, helping to avoid the treacherous 2 mile commute back home. After changing hands over the years, a new era began in the early 80's when 2417 became the first condo conversion in the U.S. - landing it a large feature in Architectural Digest of that year.
