Brimming with original character and thoughtfully updated with nearly $40,000 in premium improvements since 2023, this residence offers a seamless blend of historic charm and modern luxury. The beautifully updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring high-end soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a beautiful tile backsplash, and lots of cabinet storage. For ultimate peace of mind, a newly installed 5-stage whole-house water filtration system provides pristine water throughout, while a new roof and gutters from 2021 offer structural reliability. The home showcases beautiful original woodwork & hardwood floors, leaded & stained glass windows, and lots of the original hardware and fixtures. Outside, a premium 30-year luxury privacy fence encloses the massive yard, creating a secluded oasis for outdoor dining and relaxation, with immense equity-building potential for future expansion. A nature lover’s paradise, the property is situated just blocks from Cherokee Park and minutes from the expansive trail networks at Lilydale and Harriet Island Regional Park. Enjoy an active, walkable lifestyle with local favorites like Amore Coffee just steps away, and quick access to downtown St. Paul and the St. Paul Bouldering Project. Only a short jaunt across the river to West 7th street, you will find all sorts of delectable eateries.
