Modern Italianate perched above the city with sweeping views of the Mississippi River valley. Tucked along a quiet blufftop street, this newer home offers the rare combination of city convenience, natural beauty, and privacy. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its setting, the river valley unfolds through the windows from the moment you enter.
Inside, dramatic dark matte oak floors pair beautifully with crisp white walls and woodwork and newer Andersen windows with dark trim. Natural light fills the spacious living room, where a wood stove creates a cozy gathering place on winter nights. Glass doors in the dining room open to the expansive back deck, seamlessly connecting the home to summer breezes and breathtaking views.
The kitchen is functional, with abundant cabinetry and a butcher-block peninsula with breakfast bar. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite is a true retreat, with panoramic views, a generous walk-in closet, and direct access to the upper-level bath. Two additional bedrooms complete the upper level.
The finished lower level adds valuable living space with a family room wired for a sound system and a dedicated fitness room with a mirrored wall and resilient flooring.
Outside, the blufftop setting truly shines. The spacious back deck, directly off the dining room, has room for grilling, dining, and lounging while taking in the views. A sandstone patio off the side entrance captures some of the best views of downtown St.Paul and features a striking modern outdoor fireplace—an inviting destination well into late fall and even on balmy winter days. The front porch extends the living space with custom screens and privacy.
Framed by majestic old oaks, native trees and plants, and surrounded by nature, this is a home with a distinctive sense of place—modern, timeless, and designed to make the most of its extraordinary blufftop setting.
