What's special
Welcome to this charming and meticulously maintained home, perfectly situated on a quiet residential street in the highly sought-after Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. From the moment you arrive, you'll be drawn to the home's curb appeal and timeless character. Enjoy the best of both worlds with peaceful surroundings and unbeatable convenience. Just minutes from Highland Park’s vibrant shops, cafes, parks, and schools. Plus, with easy access to major roadways, commuting to downtown St. Paul or Minneapolis is a breeze.
Step inside to discover a warm and inviting main level. The spacious living room is centered around a beautiful electric fireplace insert that offers both ambiance and efficiency, creating a perfect space to unwind at the end of the day. Abundant natural light pours in through numerous windows, highlighting the home's original charm and thoughtful upgrades.
The adjacent dining area flows seamlessly into the updated gourmet kitchen, featuring quality cabinetry, ample counter space, and a layout designed for both function and connection.A standout feature of the main floor is the generously sized primary bedroom, which boasts a full wall of built-in closets, providing ample storage without sacrificing style. A convenient 3/4 bathroom is also located on the main level.
One of the bedrooms has been creatively converted into a cozy family room, complete with a built-in dry bar. Just off the family room is a screened-in porch, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or evening breeze while taking in the changing Minnesota seasons. Step outside from the porch onto a spacious deck and beyond that you'll find a nicely sized fenced backyard with plenty of green space.
Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms filled with natural light and character. A full bathroom serves the upper level, making it a perfect retreat for kids, guests, or a private home office setup. The upstairs layout offers flexibility and privacy while maintaining connection to the rest of the home
The lower level of the home was fully renovated in 2018 and significantly expands your living space. This versatile area can serve as a large recreation room, guest quarters, home office, or fitness area. The high-quality finishes and attention to detail make the basement feel like a natural extension of the main level.
In addition to the beautiful interior spaces, the home includes numerous recent updates that offer peace of mind and long-term value. These include a new roof, updated gutters, fence, garage, new bathtubs and toilets, and a newer furnace all completed within the past few years.
