Description

A Robbinsdale Treasure with a Remarkable Story & Unforgettable Lake Views. Welcome to one of Minnesota's best-kept secrets-Robbinsdale! Just minutes from downtown Minneapolis, this charming community offers the perfect blend of small-town character, beautiful lakes, parks and easy access to the city. And tucked along the shores of the lake is a truly special home with a story unlike any other. Custom built in 1968 by Marjorie Johnson, Minnesota's beloved Blue Ribbon Baker, and her husband Lee Johnson, this home was where Marjorie created a lifetime of memories and lived until her passing in October 2025 at the age of 106. Her passion for baking became legendary, earning her thousands of ribbons at the Minnesota State Fair and other competitions, along with national television appearances and a cookbook celebrating her award-winning recipes. She continued entering baked goods at the State Fair through 2025-a remarkable legacy of passion, perseverance and a genuine love of life. Step inside and you'll discover something truly special-a time capsule of mid-century living, lovingly preserved through the decades. Original character shines throughout the home, from the pristine mid-century bathrooms to the era-specific décor and architectural details that have remained remarkably intact. For those who appreciate the design and craftsmanship of the 1960s, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience that character exactly as it was intended. Now, for the first time in decades, this special property is ready for its next chapter. Set on 70 feet of west-facing lakeshore, this spacious 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom two-story home captures beautiful sunset views and offers an exceptional setting for everyday living and entertaining. The main level features a bright three-season sunroom overlooking the lake, spacious living room, formal dining room and generous family room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfortable living space, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and private full bathroom. The walkout lower level offers incredible flexibility with a second kitchen, 3/4 bathroom, bedroom, workshop, second family room with wood-burning fireplace and an indoor cement pool-an extraordinary amenity with endless potential for recreation and entertaining. Outside, enjoy the gently sloping yard leading to the water, spectacular western sunsets and direct access to the beauty of lake living. An adjacent park and playground add even more convenience and enjoyment to this wonderful location. A home with history. A setting with soul. A beautifully preserved piece of mid-century Minnesota. And the rare opportunity to own the home where one of Minnesota's most beloved bakers created her legacy.
