About 358 E Main Street

This beautiful historic home has been cherished by the same family for 82 years, with only one previous owner before the Northrop family. Dr. H.A. Northrop purchased the property in 1943, raising eight children here while serving as a dedicated community physician. In an interesting twist of history, he was also a candidate for both Governor of Minnesota and the U.S. Senate. In 1987, two of the Northrop siblings transformed the residence into an Airbnb, operating it until 2000. Notable guests during that time included Dr. Joyce Brothers and Art Linkletter. Steeped in history and filled with character, this 6-bedroom, 6-bath home blends elegance with versatility. Rich woodwork, stained glass, and two fireplaces create warm, inviting interiors, while a deck and four covered porches provide perfect spaces for relaxation. Recent updates include a refinished first floor, remodeled kitchen, new third-floor windows, a 2023 roof on all three buildings, appliances under five years old, and more. See the additional documents for the full list. Whether you envision it as your own personal residence or an income-producing property, this one-of-a-kind home is ready to begin its next chapter.
