In 1947, retired railroad engineer P. Gottfried Seaholm set about to build a home for his family. Erected on an expansive double lot overlooking sunsets on Lake Phalen in Saint Paul, this rare Streamline Moderne residence captures the optimism and elegance of its era. Artisan built with careful decision-making and stewardship, the home reflects both vision and craft, bringing a quiet sense of Hollywood glamour to its lakeside setting.
Graceful curves and confident geometry define the architecture, most notably the signature two-story semi-circular bay wrapped in luminous glass block. Here, light moves gently through the home from morning to evening, illuminating quarry tile floors that ground the main level in durability and refined simplicity. The eat-in kitchen remains true to its origins, with original metal cabinetry and built-in booth seating thoughtfully paired with modern upgrades. In-floor radiant heat and central air ensure comfort in every season.
Upstairs, three distinctive bedrooms offer privacy and retreat. The primary suite is serene and spacious, featuring a jetted tub, walk-in shower, double vanities, and exquisite built-in wardrobes that speak to the home’s artful design and enduring function. Each room reflects the same care and intention that shaped the home from the beginning.
Outside, double verandas frame sweeping western skies, while horizontal cedar fencing encloses lush gardens and outdoor spaces designed for both quiet reflection and elegant gatherings. An attached two-car garage completes this timeless and architecturally significant residence.
