Prince had this Minnesota home custom-built for his mother — and now it can be yours

In a Minneapolis suburb, this low-key funky residence that played a small part in pop culture history is seeking its next owner.

Located in the city of Golden Valley, the four-bedroom abode has only had two owners since being constructed 39 years ago: Its current sellers, and the late great rock star Prince. It asks $699,900.

The legendary “Purple Rain” singer, songwriter, producer and Minnesota native, who was born Prince Rogers Nelson, purchased the property in 1985 and had this home custom-built there for his mother, Mattie Della Shaw Baker. She lived there until she died, at the age of 68, in 2002.

Prince passed away following an accidental fentanyl overdose in 2016, at the age of 57.

But his estate maintained ownership of the house until the current owners, Alatheia Stenvik and Zachary Johnson, purchased it in 2020.

The husband and wife were unaware the home was at all affiliated with Prince until they signed the purchase agreement, they told Minnesota newspaper the Star Tribune.

The couple, who are sad to part with the property but are building their own home on a farm, are parting ways with the 2.5-bathroom, 3,231-square-foot address.
