Welcome to the Corner Store! This is your own private apartment -- the entire second level of what used to be a corner grocery store. Built in 1902, the space is super unique, comfortable, and modern, yet retains its historic and funky character. Located near downtown, the U of M, and the Mississippi river. Enjoy the spacious, open layout, take advantage of the beautiful backyard and wood-burning sauna, and explore the neighborhood! Please note that this is the upper level of a duplex -- the apartment is private and entirely yours, but there is a separate apartment below you where other guests will be staying.
In the mornings, enjoy coffee and breakfast outside on the deck among the treetops overlooking the large, wildflower-filled private backyard, where, later in the day, you might decide to stroll down the spiral staircase to the yard and have a barbecue, or sit around the fire pit on a starry night with a drink, or have a rejuvenating sweat in the sauna.
The apartment will sleep five people, but is most comfortable with two or three.
I live nearby, and am always available by phone whenever you might need anything!

The kitchen has everything you need to cook up a storm -- convection oven and gas range, fridge, pots/pans/utensils/dishes, dishwasher, electric kettle, toaster, plenty of counter space, good knives, and a concrete rolling island. Just off the kitchen is a cool birch tree-painted room with a breakfast counter, which leads out to the second-story deck.

The living area is open and light-filled, with lots of plants and art. There's a large sofa, a chaise lounge, and our custom made coffee/end tables. In the adjoining den, there is a desk, a sofa, and a large flat screen TV with all the streaming services and a great soundbar.

BACKYARD/DECK

You have your own private deck, and also access to the yard below via spiral staircase. The backyard is a special spot. Fully fenced in, it feels super private and a world away — plenty of decks, lounge spots, garden beds, and a fire pit for you to enjoy on a chilly evening with friends. Best of all, there's a new wood-fired sauna for you to enjoy -- perfect for the wintertime.
