Welcome to 265 Woodlawn Avenue, one of the most architecturally unique and immersive homes in all of the Twin Cities. This must-see property is located on an extraordinary and coveted block just steps from the Mississippi River, and features an exceptional large, flat, private rear yard. Plans for the home were featured in the House of Tomorrow exhibit at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair, which celebrated a streamlined future where automation and technology promised easier and more elegant lives for Americans. This exceptional home was built in 1935 with the help of St. Paul architects R. Heime, E. Land, and W. MacLeith by Steel Products Construction for Emmett Butler, a member of the prominent family who built the Minnesota state capitol. This all steel constructed home is a rare blend of ar t moderne design, technological innovation, and ornamental detail, and has been brought into the 21st century by its current owners with care. The level of intention in design of the structure, layout, and lot positioning of this property becomes apparent when visiting. The impressively large rear living room is bathed in natural light and overlooks the entire rear yard through its custom, oversized windows. The primary ensuite features two closets, a large, captivating bathroom, and south-facing French doors. The landing art gallery space features access to a common rear-facing balcony of impressive dimensions, where sunsets across the Mississippi River can be enjoyed. The home was also designed to showcase the Vitrolite Company’s new marbled glass tile product in three of the five bathrooms, and is likely one of the few homes in America still proudly displaying this robust material in mint condition. There are too many features and details to mention here- please schedule your private showing or visit us for the full historical packet at our open house on May 2. Homes like these do not come on the market very often.
