5040 Newton Ave S | A Meticulously Restored 1919 Craftsman Bungalow. Time capsule. Jewelry box. However you describe a perfectly preserved moment in history, this stunning 1919 Craftsman bungalow fits the bill. Thoughtfully deconstructed and painstakingly restored, every inch of this home was returned to its original intent-celebrating form, function, and craftsmanship. No detail was overlooked: every surface touched, every fixture replaced or restored with era-appropriate hardware, and every finish applied with intention and respect for its heritage. Artisan-built features include pristine maple flooring, period-authentic built-ins, handcrafted cabinetry, and original windows fully restored-complete with new rope, hardware, and shellac-finished wood. The kitchen and bathroom were completely reimagined with guidance from Dovetail Renovation and top local craftspeople, including custom cabinets by Frost Cabinets and tile by Hohn & Hohn. All original yellow birch woodwork throughout the home has been restored utilizing a meticulous multi-layer finishing process including custom aniline dyes, shellac, and satin varnish. From the warm interior paint palette to the handcrafted front door and the hand selected roller curtains, every choice honors the home's early 20th-century soul. Recent upgrades include a Wolf range and Liebherr refrigerator (2023), furnace and AC (2022), and a finished upper level (2022). The backyard oasis features a stamped concrete patio (2024) and a stone retaining wall (2017) by Hage Concrete. A lower-level bathroom awaits, with rough-in started, and new-in-box period-appropriate elements included. Nestled just two blocks in between Lake Harriet and Minnehaha Creek, and walkable to beloved local shops, parks, and restaurants, this home sits in one of Minneapolis' most cherished neighborhoods. This is more than a home-it's a work of art.
