Historic Mission Style on "Silk Stocking Street" -Hastings, MN
Step into history with this beautifully preserved 1880s Mission style two-story home, cherished by the same family for multiple generations. Commanding a stately presence on a large corner lot along the neighborhood once celebrated as "Silk Stocking Street," this rare offering blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates.
The newly renovated kitchen features all the modern appliances and finishes you'd expect today, complete with a charming bistro nook overlooking the lawn and patio - perfect for relaxed evening dining. The expansive hearth room/parlor showcases an original brick, wood-burning fireplace, gorgeous hardwood floors, and beamed ceilings, making it the natural heart of the home. A formal dining room with a bay window sets the stage for memorable gatherings, while a main-level den opens to a wonderful three-season porch.
Upstairs, four authentic bedrooms — including a connected suite and a jack-and-jill configuration — offer flexible, comfortable living. A bonus sitting room serves beautifully as a fifth bedroom or home office. Original hardwood maple floors run throughout the upper level.
Outside, Hardie-board siding, newer shingles, quarter-sawn trim and doors, and 6" original baseboards speak to the home's exceptional quality and integrity.
The finished lower level adds a large family room, game room with bar, a ¾ bath, a door leading into the back yard.
All of this — just steps from downtown Hastings and the scenic Mississippi River, with easy access to shops, restaurants, the Confluence Hotel, and a local brewery.
A home this authentic, this well-maintained, and this close to its original character is truly one of a kind.
