302 N Commercial St

A remarkable home in the heart of Mankato! This stately two-story property blends the character and craftsmanship of an earlier era with extensive improvements throughout. From the moment you step inside, the scale of the home stands out—generous living spaces, tall ceilings, beautiful original details, and an abundance of natural light create a home that feels both impressive and inviting. Extensively renovated in 2021, the home was thoughtfully updated while preserving many of the architectural details that make it so special. Original woodwork, hardwood floors, pocket doors, stained glass, and a beautiful beveled-glass entry are paired with substantial updates to the home's major systems and living spaces. The main level offers multiple gathering spaces, a formal dining area, an updat ed retro pink kitchen with granite countertops, and the convenience of a main-floor bedroom with an adjoining 3/4 bath. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including one with its own private half bath, plus a full bathroom. The expansive unfinished basement is a feature all its own, with exceptionally tall ceilings and an impressive amount of space for storage, a workshop, recreation, or future possibilities. Laundry hookups are located on the lower level, along with a walk-out door providing direct access outside. The exterior offers even more space to enjoy with a wraparound front porch, large back deck, fenced yard, and oversized carport. Just a block from downtown Mankato, this distinctive property offers a combination that is increasingly hard to find—historic character, generous square footage, and extensive improvements already completed. An additional building is also available for purchase separately, opening the door to even more possibilities as a business, additional workspace, guest house, or investment. A unique property with an incredible amount to offer and an opportunity worth seeing in person!
