The Nightingale is a historic 3-story, 4-bedroom home, 5 minutes from the Mall of America and MSP Intl. airport. Built in 1925, it rests on a 10,000 sq ft. lot that provides a relaxing getaway while keeping you close to Minneapolis/St. Paul. Our newly remodeled kitchen has a 5-burner gas stove and is stocked w/ utensils, dinnerware, and pots and pans. Perfect for families who love to cook, business professionals who enjoy extra space, and traveling nurses. 30+ day stays are welcome. Message us. I grew up in Minnesota and always wanted to renovate a historic home. My parents and I designed The Nightingale to retain its original 1920s charm while being as accommodating as possible for modern lifestyles. When you use your personal code to enter through the back door you will find a re-designed powder room and updated kitchen that has everything you need to cook and entertain a group of up to ten. The living room has hardwood floors and a plush sectional with a 75-inch Roku HDTV—perfect for a family holiday or watching the big game. The three main bedrooms are on the second floor, and a modern chandelier showcases the wood banister as you walk upstairs. In the primary bedroom, we have a king-sized memory foam mattress with a dedicated workspace for one and a 65-inch Roku HDTV. The two secondary bedrooms are nested with one entrance from the hallway and have queen-sized beds. Also, on the second floor is a spacious bathroom with a porcelain tub and a separate milk-house block glass shower that is magnificent in the morning sun. On the third floor (The Crows Nest) is another dedicated workspace and a separate bedroom with a queen-sized memory foam bed, a gigantic foam beanbag chair, and a 40-inch Roku HDTV. This is my favorite room in the house—perfect for kids who want to play video games or watch movies. We also have a stunning three-season porch, in-unit washer & dryer, and 8 brand-new Pickleball courts nearby. Enjoy your stay!

*****The basement has a separate entrance on the side of the house that I keep as an apartment for myself. Although I travel most of the year when I'm on the property, my priority is the comfort and peace of the guests— the top three floors, the driveway, and the yard are all yours. If I'm around, you may see me tending to the yard or shoveling the sidewalks. - Washer & Dryer in-unit. -TWO vehicles can park in the driveway. No trailers. Please leave room for me to get my car in and out of the garage. Additional vehicles/trailers have endless free street parking. OWNER DETAILS: TV writer, traveler, and novelist. Visited over 40 countries and is a lifelong tortured Minnesota Vikings fan. ---Myself or my co-host Susan will be available to offer any guidance during your stay. Please feel free to reach out.

Mall of America and MSP Airport are both within a 5-minute drive. 15 minutes from dozens of hospitals and colleges. It’s a quaint neighborhood with homes mostly built in the 50s & 60s. 1.5 blocks from 8 brand new Pickleball Courts at Washington Park. Half a block from the paved bicycle path that links Minneapolis and St. Paul's parks and lakes through an interconnected byway covering over 100 miles of trails. Close to everything but still quiet and peaceful.
