Built in 1930, 2116 W Lake of the Isles Parkway is a landmark estate set along the coveted west side of Lake of the Isles—one of Minneapolis’ most prestigious and picturesque addresses. With only three owners in its distinguished history, this residence offers a rare opportunity to own along a stretch of the parkway defined by timeless architecture, mature tree canopy, and immediate access to the city’s most beloved lakefront paths.
Originally commissioned for the prominent Bullis family, this architectural masterpiece was designed by the esteemed Minneapolis firm Van Dyck and Brown, known for shaping many of the city’s most elegant homes. Timeless proportions, refined masonry, and enduring craftsmanship create a presence that simply cannot be replicated today.
The current owners, who purchased the home in 2016, completed a comprehensive renovation—thoughtfully restoring its Tudor character while introducing modern luxury throughout. The kitchen and all five bathrooms have been fully reimagined with elevated finishes. Additional improvements include new windows, updated mechanical systems, a new roof, extensive brickwork restoration, and professionally designed landscaping. The third floor and lower level were completely renovated, and the grounds were replanted to complement the home’s architectural integrity.
This residence also carries a remarkable legacy of hospitality, having welcomed President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Vice President Walter Mondale, and Vice President Hubert Humphrey. A true generational estate, 2116 W Lake of the Isles Parkway offers architectural significance, modern refinement, and an unmatched setting on one of Minneapolis’ most iconic and sought-after parkways.
