A stone mansion from 1906 in Minneapolis, a Spanish Colonial-style house in Santa Fe, N.M., and a 19th-cenrtury rowhouse in Alexandria, Va.

This updated seven-bedroom, six-full-and-three-half-bath house is in the Lowry Hill neighborhood of Minneapolis and includes a tunnel that connects to a one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse. The architect, William Channing Whitney, also designed the Minnesota governor’s mansion in Saint Paul, Minn., and a number of other stately private residences in the Twin Cities. The current sellers undertook extensive renovations, including the addition of new windows and kitchen appliances.

Kenwood Park, a 33-acre city park with tennis courts, soccer fields and a playground, is less than a mile away. Downtown Minneapolis is a 10-minute drive, and downtown Saint Paul is a 20-minute drive.

Size: 10,392 square feet

Price per square foot: $259

Indoors: A low stone wall divides this property from the street, with a wrought-iron gate opening to the front courtyard.

Double doors open to a tiled foyer and then to a grand reception hall with black walnut floors and a wide staircase. A parlor is to the right of the staircase. The main living room has a fireplace with a marble surround and a crystal chandelier. Doors open from one side of the space to an enclosed three-season porch with terrazzo floors, and from the other side to a den with a wood-burning fireplace and mahogany paneling.

A long butler’s pantry links the formal dining to the eat-in kitchen. A sunroom with original stained-glass windows is off the den.

The main staircase landing has a windowed bench and six original stained-glass windows. There are five bedrooms on the second floor. The primary suite has a turreted sitting area, a separate dressing room and a bathroom with a claw foot tub. Next door is another en suite bedroom, and two more bedrooms share an enclosed porch. Also on this level are a laundry room and a home office.
