A Robbinsdale Treasure with a Remarkable Story & Unforgettable Lake Views. Welcome to one of Minnesota's best-kept secrets-Robbinsdale! Just minutes from downtown Minneapolis, this charming community offers the perfect blend of small-town character, beautiful lakes, parks and easy access to the city. And tucked along the shores of the lake is a truly special home with a story unlike any other.
Custom built in 1968 by Marjorie Johnson, Minnesota's beloved Blue Ribbon Baker, and her husband Lee Johnson, this home
was where Marjorie created a lifetime of memories and lived until her passing in October 2025 at the age of 106. Her passion for baking became legendary, earning her thousands of ribbons at the Minnesota State Fair and other
competitions, along with national television appearances and a cookbook celebrating her award-winning recipes. She
continued entering baked goods at the State Fair through 2025-a remarkable legacy of passion, perseverance and a genuine
love of life.
Step inside and you'll discover something truly special-a time capsule of mid-century living, lovingly preserved through the decades. Original character shines throughout the home, from the pristine mid-century bathrooms to the era-specific
décor and architectural details that have remained remarkably intact. For those who appreciate the design and craftsmanship of the 1960s, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience that character exactly as it was intended.
