Built in 1923 and located in one of Saint Paul's most coveted neighborhoods, this Colonial Revival on Wellesley Avenue arrives just in time for the back to school season; with a grand oak staircase, Craftsman woodwork throughout, a brick fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves, and arched corner cabinetry in the dining room.
The floor plan is generous and intelligent — a 16' x 15' living room that flows naturally into formal dining, an eat-in kitchen updated with a blue subway tile backsplash and stainless appliances, and a flexible main-floor room well-suited for a home office or sitting room. Three bedrooms and a full bath occupy the second floor, plus a non-conforming room currently used as an office that could easily serve as a fourth — making this effectively a five-bedroom home for the right buyer at an incredible price. The third floor reveals the house's signature: a treetop primary suite with wide plank original hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, and two arched windows that send beams of natural light across the room at opposite ends of the day.
Outside, a private fenced backyard with mature trees, established garden beds, and a deck offers the quieter pace this neighborhood is known for. Mattocks Park and Spyhouse Coffee are nearby. Grand Avenue, Summit Avenue, Macalester College, and St. Catherine University are minutes away, as are the charming independent businesses that make this area of Saint Paul genuinely hard to leave.
Major systems are move-in ready: new roof (November 2024), heat pump and furnace (August 2024), water heater (2022).
