3520 Emerson Ave S

A neighborhood-scale brick brownstone erected in 1927, this low-rise condominium offers one-bedroom and studio homes across a few stacked floors typical of Uptown Minneapolis historic walk-ups. The façade is traditional masonry with stone trim and red- or brown-brick facing; interiors mix original details such as hardwood floors and subway-tiled baths with periodic modern updates to kitchens and fixtures. Units are compact and practical, many featuring open living plans, granite or tile counters, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryer or hookups, ample natural light, and generous storage including individual lockers in the basement. Shared building elements include a maintained laundry room with free machines for residents, bicycle storage, and assigned off-street parking spaces for most units. Monthly association dues commonly cover heat and internet and the association allows owner occupancy or rental (not hotel use). Located in south Uptown within easy walking or biking distance of Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, regional trails, restaurants, coffee shops, and bus lines, the brownstone emphasizes a pedestrian-oriented, lake-and-park lifestyle rather than high-rise amenities or on-site concierge services.
