This Executive Home is sponsored by Amy Stockberger Real Estate.

A true anchor of Sioux Falls history, this exceptional McKennan Park-area home simply cannot be replicated.

Located at 1315 S. Main Ave., this four-plus-bedroom, four-bath home has been renovated extensively, but features an intentional design to preserve its past.

“This home was built by one of Sioux Falls’ most storied families — the John Morrell family — one whose legacy helped shape this city into what it is today,” listing agent Amy Stockberger said. “For the right buyer, it is a rare chance to own a piece of that history.”

Built in 1921 and spanning more than 4,500 square feet, this two-story home is just minutes from downtown Sioux Falls and enjoys all the amenities of McKennan Park living.

“As soon as you step inside, the dramatic staircase immediately sets the tone,” Stockberger said. “The main level is where this home truly shines, designed for the kind of gracious entertaining that McKennan Park was built for.”

Numerous original French doors flow between the formal dining room, living room and sunroom, giving the flexibility of an open, connected main level or intimate, defined spaces depending on the occasion.

Original plaster walls, hardwood floors and historic molding remind you of the home’s grand past.

“You’ll love hosting in the formal dining room, which features a stunning bay window, filling it with natural light. There’s also a window seat that nearly extends the full length of the room,” Stockberger said.

Just off the dining room, the fully remodeled chef’s kitchen showcases gleaming quartz countertops, a custom tile backsplash, high-end appliances and an abundance of cabinetry.

“A beautifully appointed butler’s pantry connects the kitchen and dining room seamlessly,” Stockberger said. “It’s the kind of detail that sets a home of this caliber apart.”

An expansive formal living room anchors the home with a woodburning fireplace and generous proportions that feel both grand and welcoming.

“The sunroom is outstanding,” Stockberger added. “It’s surrounded by windows on all sides and perfect for your morning coffee, quiet reading or enjoying the beautifully landscaped grounds year-round.”

A handsome den completes the main level and includes a second fireplace.

“It’s ideal as a home office, library or cozy evening retreat,” Stockberger said.

The upper level features four bedrooms, including the primary suite.

“It’s a genuine sanctuary,” Stockberger said.

“You’ll love the generous seating area, enormous walk-in closet, a private washer and dryer, a Juliet balcony and a fully updated spa-inspired bath, complete with clawfoot soaking tub and large tile walk-in shower.”

Two additional spacious bedrooms share a beautifully updated Jack and Jill bath.

The fourth bedroom — the original maid’s quarters — offers its own private sitting room and a fully updated en suite bath, perfect as a guest suite, in-law space or luxurious private office.

“There’s also a finished attic that provides a bonus room, plus an additional space perfect for a playroom, studio or other flex space,” Stockberger said.

The partially finished lower level is an entertainer’s dream, complete with a dry bar, wine cellar and extensive built-in shelving for storage.

“Outside, the grounds are as thoughtfully designed as the home itself,” Stockberger added.

A formal garden-styled courtyard on the side of the home is framed by a lush Russian sage border alongside banks of hydrangeas, juniper and boxwoods.

“It creates such a serene setting for morning coffee, al fresco dining or evening drinks,” Stockberger said.

The rear flex area and courtyard both feature brand-new hardscape with natural stone borders. In-ground sprinklers in the front keep the landscaping looking its best with minimal effort.

“The brick exterior has been freshly repointed, the chimney restored and the home newly painted, so it’s totally move-in ready,” Stockberger said.

“And then there is the roof. It’s one of three steam-bent cedar shake roofs in Sioux Falls and by far the most intricate, which gives this home a storybook curb presence that truly is in a class of its own. Homes with this history, this craftsmanship, this location and this irreplaceable character do not come available often.”

This Executive Home is listed for $1,200,000. For information, contact Amy Stockberger at 605-731-9597 or amy@amystockberger.com.
