For Sale - Active
1 Units

Welcome to historic Summit Avenue! This charming 1890 Brownstone seamlessly blends Old World elegance with modern convenience. With soaring 10-foot ceilings, exposed brick, a beautiful bay window, stainless steel appliances, and in-unit laundry, this first-floor unit offers both character and comfort. Added Bonus, you have a private entrance from your designated parking space for added convenience. This home is a showcase of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and enduring charm. Don’t miss your chance to be part of Summit Avenue’s rich history—where literary greats and visionaries once walked. Across the street, F. Scott Fitzgerald penned This Side of Paradise (1920), capturing the spirit of a generation. Summit Avenue, home to the governor’s residence, has been described as “the best-preserved example of the Victorian monumental residential boulevard.” Immerse yourself in this storied neighborhood. Stroll along tree-lined sidewalks, admire the grand architecture, and soak in the timeless charm. Just blocks from the cozy cafes, unique shops, and vibrant restaurants of Grand Avenue, Selby/Dale, and downtown St. Paul—and minutes from the Mississippi River—this is truly a neighborhood paradise. Imagine Fitzgerald on the stoop, cigarette in hand, contemplating his next chapter. This historic district is alive with the spirit of literary brilliance, artistic creativity, and architecture reminiscent of New York. You won't want to miss this magic!
