About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to The Butterfly House — a rare architectural gem designed in 1960 by Herbert Fritz, a distinguished student of Frank Lloyd Wright. Celebrated for his modern, elegant, and organic approach to design, Fritz created this home specifically for the original owners, and it has remained in the family ever since. True to its name, The Butterfly House features a striking roofline and unique details that embody mid-century modern living. Nestled on an incredible .28-acre lot just a block from Mississippi River Road, this property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore a piece of architectural history. With 1,380 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a carport, the home retains its original character and awaits its next steward to bring it back to life. A very special offering in one of Minneapolis’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Original floorplans and renderings to be provided to the new owners. Public Open House on Sunday, October 12th from 10am-4pm....no viewings will be taking place before this date. Clean City of Minneapolis City Inspection Report. Property Sold As-Is.
