Mill District Listings Update for January 31, 2011

Last Week in the Mill District.  Last week brought some exciting activity to the Mill District real estate market!  Three new homes at Riverwest bring the approachable opportunity to live in our city's premier neighborhood and enjoy some of the best views and best amenities available.  Bridgewater brings the amazing price of $295,000 for an area 2 bed/ 2 bath home in the building that boasts outdoor pool and indoor access to anything you need…everything from groceries and wine shop to pet services and hair salon.  Bridgewater is a village within the city!  607 Washington offers exposed brick and timber, unique interior design, and large aesthetically pleasing windows to frame Mill District and city views.
 
This week we'd also like to call attention to the trend we call "quiet listings."  You'll see that the Cynthia Froid group has posted two pending sales at the highly sought after Humboldt Lofts…a hybrid building that combines historic mill structure with new concrete construction and award winning design by Julie Snow Architects.  Neither of these stunning homes were accessible on the MLS, but rather, sold as a result of connecting buyer and seller needs within the local community.

Active Listings.  Each Monday we post a snapshot of all active or available real estate in the Mill District.

This week you'll find everything from modestly priced one bedrooms with fantastic city or river views and luxurious building amenities at Riverwest, to top floor penthouse with private rooftop yards and panaramic views at Minneapolis' most desirable Washburn Lofts.
