a Cass Gilbert architectural masterpiece. a Stunning Dutch Colonial with gambrel roof, and classic solid, soft-yellow limestone side-walls and foundation. Originally constructed for Cass Gilbert's chief architectural assistant, Georg M. Carsley, the attention to detail is obvious, both inside and out.
This home is on thr Ramsey County Historical Survey. The elaborate Colonial interior washes over your senses as you enter, focal-pointed by the striking central colonial switch-back staircase with daylight flowing into the home's interior through the welcoming stair-landing windows. The sumptuous entrance foyer pleasantly overwhelms your senses, as you try to simultaneously absorb all the vistas of the home's spacious, and compelling room layout. The floor plan flows easily from the relaxed den/library with it's cozy fireplace, or opt into the tastefully more formal Living Room with it's more formal fireplace and ambiance. The colonial-style Dining Room is wisely interconnected thru a short hallway to the extremely efficiently designed galley- kitchen. Up the lovely switch-back spindled staircase and light-filled landing to the second floor leads to four light-filled bedrooms, including a huge master bedroom and two baths - a shared master and the main bath. There is also a mother-in-law and/or rental apartment in the basement with a separate side entrance, It is a cozy one-bedroom unit with it's own fireplace with flanking bookcases, and a special ambiance. This unit is currently way under rented at $600 per month including heat, water and trash. As you can see in the photos, there's an architecturally- blending two-car garage with automatic opener. His home's location and positioning was deliberately selected for it's multiple-facade-displaying site, and subtle cornerstone neighborhood-enhancing status right across the street from the original main entrance to the highly-regarded Episcopal Home
