This is it- this is one of the special homes that only becomes available once in a lifetime in your dream location in St. Anthony Park! This simply stunning home was built in 1890 by Chares L. Aldrich for himself. Walk through the lush landscaping and tall trees to enter the screen porch. Enjoy your cup of coffee here in the mornings, and your evenings watching the world go by. Enter into the one of a kind rotunda foyer. You will immediately be impressed with the wood fireplace, custom American Red Maple woodwork throughout, and gold painted ceiling. The door on the right leads into the parlor or family room; a cozy place to curl up with a book or watch some TV. The doorway to the left leads you into the formal dining room with period light fixture. Head into the jaw dropping living room with a large arched, stained glass window, a gas fireplace, and a wood ceiling that you have to see to appreciate all the beauty. Through the doorway is the large kitchen overlooking your private backyard. Upstairs are 3 generous sized bedrooms with built ins galore! Don't miss the window seat on the way up with some of the most beautiful and intricate detail you have ever seen. The stone basement is wide open with loads of storage. Out back do not miss the backyard, amazing garage with fabulous workshop up above! Stroll down the streets of St Anthony Park shopping and eating. You are also just minutes from either downtown. This really is the home that you have been waiting for.
