Property Description

For the first time in 32 years, one of Minneapolis' most extraordinary residences is being offered to the public. Occupying the entire top floor of La Rive, this landmark riverfront penthouse represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity where legacy, privacy, and uncompromising quality come together. Wrapped in windows with remarkable 360-degree views, the residence captures the downtown Minneapolis skyline, Mississippi River, historic Northeast Minneapolis, and views extending east toward St. Paul. From sunrise over the river to sunset across the city, the changing landscape becomes part of the experience from nearly every room. Arrival is equally impressive. Step directly from one of three building elevators into your own private elevator vestibule leading into a residence defined by craftsmanship, scale, and thoughtful design. Four woodburning fireplaces, handcrafted wallcoverings, a custom den, light filled sunroom, and a private rooftop terrace are just a few of the details that distinguish this exceptional home. Over 1,300 square feet of private rooftop terrace creates an outdoor experience unlike anything else in the city. Panoramic views surround extensive container gardens, a fire table, and an elevated dining area complete with an electric awning an extraordinary setting for both intimate evenings and large-scale entertaining. The primary suite is positioned to capture south and east exposures through expansive corner windows and includes a private office, walk-in closet, and beautifully appointed bath beneath a dramatic skylight. A secondary bedroom suite occupies its own separate wing, offering exceptional privacy, north and west views, and a private bath with steam shower. Morning begins naturally in the intimate breakfast nook connecting the kitchen and sunroom, perfectly positioned for sunrise over the river. A private fitness room overlooking the rooftop terrace adds another level of convenience rarely found in condominium living. Massive private storage, a secondary private entrance, and three adjacent parking stalls further complement the residence. La Rive enjoys a premier riverfront setting near historic Main Street, Nicollet Island, the University of Minnesota, Northeast Minneapolis Arts District, restaurants, trails, and some of the city's most celebrated destinations. Residents enjoy full-time property management, an indoor swimming pool and sauna, a fitness room with views of the river and skyline, community spaces, secure guest parking, and convenient access to Riverplace and the very best of Minneapolis riverfront living. Only two families have had the privilege of calling this penthouse home since La Rive was originally constructed. More than a residence, it is a piece of Minneapolis real estate history and a remarkably rare opportunity for its next owner to carry that legacy forward.
