Here's your rare opportunity to own a piece of Champlin's past! Originally built in 1887 by a contractor from Teddington, England, this extraordinary property -- known locally as the LaFleur Mansion -- blends historic character with modern comfort. The exterior bricks were shipped from Missouri by ferry and unloaded near today's Mississippi River bridge in Champlin. The elegant curved front porch was added between 1915-1917, enhancing the home's historic appeal. The chicken barn, still on the property and now used as storage, dates back to 1954 -- a charming nod to the
LaFleur family's chicken-raising legacy (they sold chickens in nearby Anoka!). High-end Wolf appliances in a dream kitchen. Custom cabinetry in American black walnut with inlaid maple. In-floor heating in areas of the home for cozy winters. Updated electrical systems. Gorgeous blend of classic architecture with modern ease of living and a 3-car garage. One bay of the garage was previously used as a home office.* Fully functional living space above garage with kitchen & 3/4 bath -- perfect for guests, rental, or home business. A majestic eagle and its family have made their home in a tree in the front yard -- offering a rare and beautiful connection to nature right outside your window!
This home is a showstopper -- brimming with character, thoughtfully updated, and move-in ready. Be sure to check the features list -- the upgrades are extensive! Schedule your private tour today. You won't be disappointed!
