The “Rift-sawn Victorian of 1900”: 🪵 a battleship turn of century up-down duplex @ 2727 Polk St NE

“Why 2️⃣ doors are better than☝️one” ™️

2510’ 🦶4 🛌 2 🛀 2 🚘 475 🏦 2 units 🚪 🚪

The finished product of this building is one we take great pride in, as our team @ Improvement Co. executed a 5 month restoration of both units including : millwork , oak on main & maple hardwoods upper, enamel throughout her 12’ crowned ceilings, lighting spec & new garage doors all completed to pass the torch with pride on this example.

As many of our purists know, NE has pockets of outstanding originality but it’s mining for gold ⚒️ to find trimmings of craftsman era intact to this level in duplexes espiecially.

Incredible build quality rarely witnessed in the blue color origins of Northeast Minneapolis. Riftsawn is a sprawling footprint of nearly 1500’ on the main floor.

She is trimmed really well on two floors: stacked window inglenooks in each unit, leaded transom windows, stained glass dining built-ins, box beam ceilings, original shaker kitchen cabinets quartersawn oak hardwoods.

Rare Form is built on a foundation of multi-units, our beginnings of restoration and sweat equity all began with multiple doors.

We are back for good in a 🌎 marketplace that is difficult to source affordability in classic housing: 💯’s of purveyors have chosen owner occupant duplexes as their first property. This one is a terrific move with the peak potential of Northeast.

📰 A Textbook Purveyor Acquisition : Olivia & Travis's Watertower Homecoming

Inspiring architectural 💗 story
(📖 link in bio)

A buying-in-rareform legacy acquisition🔮: Olivia & Trav became only the 3rd owners of Sarats’ 1926 English tudor, a ceremonial torch pass from a 70 year tangletown owner!

“Rareform’s mantra, ‘How many homes will you own in a lifetime?’ rang true from our initial conversation with Steve. There is true intentionality in their model, something that we deeply value. ” -Olivia Trav & Scout

Olivia & Travis executed what ALL real estate lovers romanticize but few actually accomplish: instead of the lamp or the chair or that Turkish rug, you enter the estate sale and buy the house!

“It's a big deal to buy a home from halfway across the country, especially sight unseen. Steve was candid about the home, location, asking price, room for negotiation, and potential for long term value.” —Olivia & Trav

This story is truly inspiring, like a steel black diamond these mountain lovers dropped-in while the rest of the market watched.

We completed phase ☝️ hardwoods post closing & winter it’s onto main floor sorting of originality. Estates like this receive a 5 year outlook from Improvement co to amplify this regal tudor.

The shaker kitchen is bursting with potential ; stay tuned for this value driven & playful sweat equity moves.
