Hollywood actor Josh Hartnett is shrinking his Twin Cities footprint and put his 1880s Lake of the Isles home up for sale Thursday, asking price $2.395 million.
The five-bedroom Victorian is in the 2400 block of E. Lake of the Isles Parkway, sitting on the eastern shore of the lake's northern-most finger.
The 5,000-square-foot home, built in 1887, also has a four-car garage, an exercise room, an in-ground outdoor pool and four bathrooms, according to Lakes Sotheby's International Realty.
The listing notes that the home combines "modern with traditional Victorian. Sophisticated spaces, exquisite finishes, stained glass windows, gourmet kitchen, wine cellar [and] incredible views."
Hartnett is listing the home "to downsize locally as he will be spending less time in the region," the listing agency said in a statement.
The agency also noted that the property's renovations in the 1980s inspired the book, "Dreaming in the Dust," by Katherine Chrisman, who documented the challenges of making over a century-old home.
Hartnett bought the home in 2002, paying the current asking price, according to Hennepin County property records. Taxes last year on the property totaled nearly $49,000.
The 36-year-old Hartnett attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul before transferring and graduating from Minneapolis South High School.
