About this home
A rare opportunity to enjoy the charm of one of Saint Paul's classic neighborhoods without sacrificing the comfort and efficiency of modern construction. Built in 2017 on a hilltop lot overlooking scenic Johnson Parkway along Saint Paul's renowned Grand Round, this beautifully designed home blends timeless architectural character with today's open floor plan, modern finishes, and energy-efficient construction.
The spacious main level offers a bright living room, a welcoming front porch, and an inviting kitchen with white enamel cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage, informal dining space, and durable luxury vinyl plank flooring. A main-floor bedroom, 3/4 bath with quartz vanity and tiled shower, and convenient laundry complete the level.
Upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each featuring walk-in closets, a full bathroom with quartz countertop, and an impressive 15' x 15' loft-style family room that offers exceptional flexibility as a home office, media room, playroom, or could even be converted into an additional bedroom.
The unfinished lower level provides over 1,000 square feet of future expansion potential with an egress window already installed, rough-in plumbing for a future bathroom, and plenty of room to build equity.
Step outside to discover a backyard designed for entertaining and relaxation, featuring a massive patio, raised deck, colorful perennial gardens, beautiful landscaping, and a tranquil water feature. Perched above Johnson Parkway, the home enjoys scenic views while offering a surprisingly peaceful setting that feels removed from the bustle of the city.
Located in Dayton's Bluff with easy access to the Grand Round's walking and biking trails, restaurants, shopping, and countless Saint Paul amenities, this home truly offers the best of both worlds—modern living wrapped in classic neighborhood charm....
