Cedar Street Cottage — Alexandria, MN

Vintage charm. Modern comfort. A truly special property in the heart of Alexandria.

Built in 1920 and located on popular historic Cedar Street, this beautifully updated home blends the character and warmth of a vintage cottage with modern amenities and thoughtful updates.

Spread across three levels, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and currently has 4 beds — three queen beds and one twin.

Main Level: The inviting main level features a fully equipped kitchen, butler’s pantry, back porch, spacious dining room with an original built-in hutch, cozy living room, and bright sunporch — perfect for morning coffee, reading a book, listening to records, gathering around the table, or playing games. Please note: there is currently no bathroom or bedroom on the main level.

Second Level: Two charming bedrooms and a full bathroom, including one queen bedroom and a second bedroom with a twin bed.

Lower Level: A private master suite currently featuring two queen beds and an attached full bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is also a mechanical room with a washer and dryer for laundry.

Yard: The spacious yard feels wonderfully private, with a large back deck offering plenty of room for a table, outdoor furniture, and a grill. There’s also a bonfire pit and plenty of additional yard space for playing or gardening. A privacy fence runs along one side, with large bushes providing additional privacy on the other.

Behind the newly built garage is a new concrete slab providing additional parking, with convenient access from the alley.

And then there’s the garage…

A newly constructed 2½-car garage takes this property to another level. Designed as a year-round space, the garage is fully heated and includes a finished recreation room that feels more like an extension of the home than a garage.

The rec room features:

A full-size pool table Large-screen TV Comfortable leather couches Brand-new golf simulator Heated for year-round enjoyment

It’s the perfect place for movie nights, game nights, entertaining, watching sports, or spending a winter afternoon playing golf without ever leaving home.

The location is hard to beat. Set on a quiet, family-friendly block of historic Cedar Street, you’re just steps from downtown Alexandria’s boutiques, cafés, antique shops, parks, restaurants, and brewery. Enjoy the best of downtown while still having the feeling of a quiet neighborhood to come home to.

This property has been lovingly designed and used as a successful short-term rental, making it an incredible opportunity as a primary residence, second home, investment property, or vacation rental.

Furnishings & additional items: The listing price is for the home itself. Because the home is currently completely furnished, there is an opportunity to negotiate the purchase of additional items with the property based on the buyer’s preferences. This can include furniture, appliances, décor, and the brand-new golf simulator.

There is so much more to this property than just the house — it’s a piece of Alexandria history with personality, charm, modern comfort, and a truly unique entertainment space.

Price is negotiable, and furnishings, appliances, golf simulator, and other items can be negotiated separately or as part of the sale.
