Details 1937 Fifth Ave W; 4,050 sq ft, 4 BR, 3½ baths, built 2010
Selling Points The floors are poured concrete, but that doesn’t mean they’re cold. In-floor radiant heat is just one of the high-end custom upgrades in this ultramodern manse.

Details 1722 Bigelow Ave N; 3,430 sq ft, 5 BR, 3 baths, built 1993

Details 1525 10th Ave W; 3,700 sq ft, 5 BR, 3½ baths, built 2009
Selling Points That’s right: five bedrooms. The fifth is in a lower-level guest suite that includes a full bath. The main living areas ain’t bad either, thanks to a souped-up kitchen and a media room wired for surround sound.
