Gorgeous 1918 St. Paul Bungalow! Marvel at this house’s details, starting with a front porch that overlooks the front yard’s perennial gardens and a bluestone patio. A tiled foyer leads you into the sunny, south-facing living spaces. The rooms are lined with warm, original woodwork — crown molding, original columns, and deep baseboards — brightened by newly-refinished oak floors. You will love how the open floor plan lets morning light shine from the sunroom all the way through the kitchen to the backyard. At end of day, the setting sun shines through from the opposite direction, setting the woodwork aglow. A decade ago, the current owners had a timeless Arts and Crafts kitchen installed, with elegant, Shaker-style cabinets built in red birch by John Frost. Stainless appliances + a green subway tile backsplash, a farm house sink and other period details finish off the space. Around the corner, a spacious walk-in pantry provides more views of the backyard. Also on the main floor are two bedrooms with closets, and a full bathroom. The entire upstairs is a sun-drenched owner suite. The current owners wanted the detailed woodwork of the main floor replicated, but paired with a more modern aesthetic, open layout and salvaged glass doors and stained glass. Besides the Master bedroom, and its two walk-in closets, there’s a separate ¾ bath with pedestal sink, a walk-in shower, and a walk-in linen closet. Abutting the bedroom are an office/den, and a separate nursery. The lower level, finished in 2015, has a cozy family room with a gas fireplace, along with a fourth bedroom, a roughed-in 3rd bathroom (currently used as storage space), and a finished laundry room.The drain tile and a radon mitigation system were also installed in 2015.
All of this comes with a prime location! Walk or bike to coffee shops, Mattocks Park, notable restaurants, Macalester College, and Randolph Heights Elementary (one of the most recommended primary schools in the city). A bit farther, but still walkable, are trails galore along the Mississippi River gorge. Rapid transit options means both Minneapolis and St. Paul downtowns are just minutes away. Simply move in and enjoy!
