3948 1St Ave S

A 1930-built low-rise masonry residence in South Minneapolis composed of classic early 20th-century styling. The building’s exterior features stone detailing and period façade elements that read as Tudor/Spanish Revival and Art Deco influences common to the era. It contains two-bedroom condominium units with original architectural details retained—hardwood floors, built-in cabinetry, arched doorways, coved ceilings, decorative (false) fireplaces, and vintage tile baths—alongside selective modern upgrades like renovated kitchens with granite counters and stainless appliances. Common areas are modest and residential in scale; residents benefit from assigned indoor garage parking (typically one stall per unit), shared laundry, and storage. Maintenance appears association-managed with periodic capital improvements (roof replacement documented in 2019 and concrete repairs more recently). The building sits on a tree-lined street steps from Martin Luther King Jr. Park and local amenities, offering strong walkability to restaurants, shops, transit lines, and recreational facilities. Pet and service policies vary by association but management is described as professional and owner-focused, combining preserved historic character with practical contemporary updates.
