Own a piece of Sioux Falls history with one of city’s most iconic estates

This Executive Home is sponsored by Grand Sotheby’s International Realty.

One of Sioux Falls’ most historically significant estates is ready for its next owner.

This 1926 three-story English-style residence at 1 W. Penmarch Place was designed by Larson & McLaren and blends architectural grandeur, timeless craftsmanship and serene privacy.

“There’s simply no other home in Sioux Falls like it,” listing agent Danielle Konechne said. “This is one of few large estates in the city, and its grandeur reflects the significant impact its original owners, the Morrell Foster family, had on our city as they grew the John Morrell meatpacking company here.”

A tree-lined road leads to the distinguished eight-bedroom, eight-bath home, which spans 9,300 square feet.

Hallmark features include a circular drive with sundial, Flemish bond brickwork, sandstone detailing, copper accents and a slate roof.

“The grounds of this home truly define an estate experience,” Konechne said. “It’s your own encompassing retreat on nearly 3 acres in the heart of Sioux Falls, with a pool, greenhouse, tennis or basketball court and a bonus garage with a workshop.”

Standout features such as a reception room that flows into the formal sitting room and a terrazzo patio dance floor will make your home memorable for guests.

“When you entertain here, it will be an experience most of your guests have never enjoyed before,” Konechne said. “Meals in the formal dining room will truly feel like a special occasion.”

An updated kitchen brings all the modern amenities for the family chef and includes casual seating and a breakfast area surrounded by leaded glass and imported stained glass inserts.

“The layout includes areas that were used for staff serving in the home, so off of the kitchen, you’ll find a scullery for additional preparation and cleanup,” Konechne said.

Daily living will be convenient and comfortable, relaxing in the library or solarium.

An enormous owner’s suite includes a marble fireplace, cedar closet and large dressing room.

A gorgeous bath includes a large soaking tub and walk-in shower.

“The finishes in this home stand apart and offer such enduring quality,” Konechne added “From the imported Italian tile to the Portuguese cork-insulated walls, premium materials are used throughout and show why this home continues to impress nearly a century after it was built.”

The second floor also include four other bedrooms, including a former staff wing with a nursery and walk-in closet.

The third floor features a ballroom with a wall of built-in cabinets and an additional bedroom and bathroom.

The lower level includes a family room with a fireplace, recreation and hobby rooms, laundry, a half-bath and another bedroom.

“This is more than a home,” Konechne said. “It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Sioux Falls history.”
