Harry Potter-style Castle in Downtown Minneapolis Should Become a Restaurant | Eater Twin Cities

"I stumbled across a castle in the shadow of the US Bank Stadium near Grumpy’s and the Loft Literary Center — the former home of restaurateur and musician Jeff Arundel — that feels like the most unique residence in Minneapolis. From the outside it makes no sense in the newly developing part of town: turrets, wrought-iron gates and a fairytale courtyard give it a castlelike vibe; inside is a mix of gothic materials twisted with jewel-toned accents across a 4,500-square-foot home with three bedrooms and three baths and a Hagrid-sized fireplace that probably leads straight to the Ministry of Magic. Back on the market for $2.995 million and currently zoned residential, it was briefly under consideration by a brewery that pulled out, and Arundel told the Star Tribune he'd be smart to turn it into another restaurant and that he misses the recording studio; with the city's apparent openness to other uses, it would make the coolest restaurant space in the Twin Cities so long as the menu stays Muggle-friendly." - Joy Summers
