According to its listing, this home in Minneapolis was built in 1877 and appears on the National Historic Register.

It's on the market for $1.2 million, which might seem steep for what looks like your average townhouse β€” but once you step inside, that price tag will make a little more sense.

Crossing the threshold, you're greeted by commissioned murals hand-painted on the walls and ceilings.

Next, the living room is a portal to the elegance and excess of the gilded age, with its ornate fireplace, glitzy chandeliers and 19th-century-style furniture.

The design of the kitchen is similarly elaborate, featuring arches, copper stamped ceiling tiles and intricate, custom mosaic backsplashes.

The eclectic mix of influences throughout the home are most apparent when you move from the main floor down to the Asia-inspired lower level, where the en-suite bedroom boasts hand-carved wood details, marble floors and a striking, solid granite bathtub.

And just when you thought the place couldn't get any better, there's more.

The basement level of the house is home to a "Baroque-inspired entertaining space" that comes complete with "hand-carved posts and arches against a backdrop of a custom-made waterfall feature" and a wet bar β€” quite the room to host drinks and dinner parties in.

What's more, the listing casually mentions that the basement is home to what appears to be an old, sealed tunnel entrance β€” so there's a chance the 19th-century property has even more surprises to offer its next lucky owner.

    That's a rowhouse, not a townhouse. You can tell from the pic showing several of them in a row, built together. Townhouses are built one at a time.
