King, Queen & Reading Nook: A king bedroom and a queen bedroom with its own private ensuite, plus a cozy daybed nook for added flexibility.

Family Friendly: From a highchair and kids dinnerware to a wagon and pack and play, we're set.

Brand New & Custom Designed: Every finish, fixture, and piece of furniture was hand-selected over nearly three years of renovation.

Exceptional Hospitality: Count on Tiegen & Keenan for prompt communication, thoughtful touches, and proactive support.

Historic Charm: Set inside the iconic 1890s Marshall Wells warehouse, reborn after years of careful restoration.

Harbor Views: The working harbor and the unmistakable silhouette of the Marshall Wells water towers outside your window, or step onto your Juliet balcony for fresh air and a closer look.

Detailed Property Description:

A Reverent Restoration

We stripped back the excess to find the beautiful basics: raw Douglas Fir, exposed brick, and an uncompromised Northern soul. A deep blue palette drawn from the depth and majesty of Lake Superior. Every finish hand-selected, every detail intentional. Custom original artwork, playful wallpaper, high-end fixtures, and furnishings that feel both contemporary and genuinely cozy. Something straight out of Architectural Digest, the kind of space that makes you stop at the door and say "wow" before you even set your bags down.

A Kitchen Built for Gathering

The full kitchen and open living area were designed for slow mornings and shared meals, with the harbor as your backdrop.

Stay Fresh, Not Salty

A custom fish mural and a neon sign in the living area set the tone the moment you walk in. Playful but polished: exactly the balance we were going for throughout Aerial West.

Right in the Middle of It All

Aerial West overlooks Lake Ave, one of Canal Park's main corridors, with the working harbor and the iconic Marshall Wells water towers outside your window. You're not above it all looking down. You're right in it.

A Cozy Corner of Your Own

Tucked beside the king and queen bedrooms, the reading nook and daybed offer a quiet retreat for an afternoon book or an extra place to sleep.

Additional Features:

Private Laundry: Full in-unit washer and dryer.

Dedicated Workspace: A quiet nook to get things done, whether you're extending the trip or just need to send an email.

Full Coffee Bar: Start your morning right without leaving the unit.

Juliet Balcony: Step outside and take in the harbor view, even if just for a breath of fresh air.

Heated Seat Smart Bidets: Everyone's favorite unexpected feature. Don't knock 'em til you try 'em!
