About 510 Groveland Avenue 304
Where History and Modernity Converge: Apartment 304 at 510 Groveland
A rare opportunity awaits in one of Minneapolis’s most iconic residences. Apartment 304 at 510 Groveland is the result of a visionary renovation that combined two former units—304 and 310—along with reclaimed hallway space, into a seamless, double-corner residence. Rebuilt from the studs in 2014 by Welch Forsman and further refined in 2022, this exceptional home offers a graceful union of historic character and modern sophistication.
With windows on three sides, the apartment is bathed in natural light throughout the day. Views extend across the neighborhood and toward the downtown skyline, offering a striking urban backdrop from the kitchen and entertaining spaces. The interiors are crisp and contemporary, defined by white walls, cabinetry, and ceilings that create a serene, gallery-like atmosphere. Nearly all lighting has been upgraded to designer fixtures, with the notable exception of the original chandelier preserved in the primary suite—a quiet tribute to the building’s 1920s origins.
At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen designed for beauty and performance. Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Asko appliances are paired with Dornbracht fixtures, a beverage fridge, and an oversized island that anchors the space. The adjacent dining and lounge areas flow naturally, framed by elegant double doors that offer flexibility and privacy for entertaining.
Rich Italian herringbone hardwood floors and custom millwork run throughout, while the living room features a pressure-fitted wood ceiling for added architectural interest. A Lutron-controlled lighting system and whole-home audio elevate the daily living experience, and custom built-ins provide discreet, integrated storage across every room.
Both bedrooms are tucked away from the main living areas, creating quiet, private retreats. The primary suite features a rare wood-burning fireplace and a custom walk-in closet. Its ensuite bath, clad in marble, includes heated floors, a curbless walk-in shower, soaking tub, and double vanities illuminated by natural light. The guest suite is equally refined, with a generous footprint, ample closet space, and a private bath finished in timeless materials and neutral tones. A separate powder room near the main living area adds further convenience without compromising the privacy of the bedroom suites.
510 Groveland continues to distinguish itself through both historic charm and forward-thinking stewardship. Recent capital improvements include full window replacement in 2019, roof replacement and tuck-pointing in 2020, a major drainpipe lining project in 2023, LED lighting retrofits, and ongoing common area renovations including new hallway carpet and repainting throughout 2024 and 2025. These updates ensure long-term reliability and mechanical efficiency while preserving architectural integrity.
Residents enjoy 24/7 front desk service and an on-site caretaker, along with well-maintained fitness and laundry rooms. The garage includes a car wash bay and secure bike storage with an air pump. A fenced west lawn offers outdoor relaxation, and a private rooftop terrace recently opened with stunning views of the Minneapolis skyline—the paid membership is already included and transferable. Additional private storage is also included. As a unique benefit, residents enjoy a discount at PS Steak, located conveniently on the building’s first floor.
Apartment 304 is more than a home—it is a carefully curated living experience in one of Minneapolis’s most storied and sought-after addresses. Every element, from its bespoke interiors to its enduring architectural framework, reflects a commitment to design, craftsmanship, and livability. This is a residence to be experienced—and cherished—for generations.
