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!
