Property Description


0.17 Acres Lot
Built in 1883
For Sale - Active
1 Units

Step into a piece of history with this remarkable 1883 Victorian single-family home, designed by architect DW Millard for WH Howard. Boasting over 7,000 square feet of living space, this stunning residence combines the charm of a bygone era with modern amenities. The main unit features 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 baths, all set in expansive, sunlit rooms with elegant hardwood inlay floors and natural woodwork. From leaded and stained glass details to a library with floor to ceiling bookshelves and natural wood paneled walls, this home showcases exquisite craftsmanship throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with a commercial refrigerator/freezer. The impressive primary suite offers a private retreat, featuring a separate dressing room and en suite bathroom. In addition to the main living area, there are two additional dwellings: a mother-in-law apartment and a tree-level loft apartment, adding even more versatility to this incredible home. New roof and skylights, mini-splits and water heaters in 2024. The adjacent lot is available for purchase as well, and may be developed up to 9,000 finished sqft on its own, or to the full potential of 14,000 sqft if the lot is not split. This rare gem offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of architectural history with potential for further development, all in an historic neighborhood that is also one of St. Paul's most beautiful, with beloved restaurants, cafes and shops. Don’t miss your chance to explore all that this exceptional home has to offer!
