Set at the end of the street surrounded by trees, this hill-top oasis offers a level of privacy that's rare this close to the city! Charming hardwood floors and original trim run throughout, paired with mechanical updates made throughout the years that address the big ticket items first. The main floor includes a large living and dining room with high ceilings and rosette molding around the passageways, plus a bay window with stained glass in the dining room. The updated kitchen has new flooring and flows seamlessly into the dining space. A main-floor bedroom with an adjoining half bath works equally well as a library, office, or media room. Functionality continues to the second floor with 3 bedrooms, a second living room, full bathroom and laundry. The large primary suite also offers a walk-in closet. Outside, solar panels help offset energy costs and the large fenced yard includes a composite deck, raised garden beds, and firepit. The garage offers space for two cars with room to spare for storage or a shop. Five minute drive to downtown St. Paul or five minute walk to Icy Cup, this home is in the heart of the city while feeling like a private sanctuary!
